Ruby Interpreter on OSX 10.4.7 within Eclipse

[jpshahom]

Learning Ruby and working in the Eclipse IDE - which I use for Java
programming - what interpreter would you recommend using and where can
I find it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

If I understand you right, you are looking for an Eclipse-plugin?!

In this case you should give RadRails a try (<a
href="http://www.radrails.org/">RadRails-Website</a>). You get a
Rails-framework and a Ruby-IDE too. I recommend to use the integrated
updater in Eclipse (Help -> Software Updates -> Finf and Install).

As you are using MacOS, I hope you already came across <a
href="http://www.macromates.com/">TextMate</a>, the best editor on
earth and *the* killer-app of MacOS. It's a texteditor on steroids, and
in my oppinion far better than RadRails.

Hope that helps,
napoleon

Napoleon,

I'm not clear, i just want to get the interpreter to run in Eclipse for
now to get started with Ruby within Eclipse (I may change my mind later
on and go to RadRails).
When I go through the Eclipse help, the message I get has to do with
some 'site stream failing'.
Is there a plug-in interpreter somewhere I could get hold of?
Thanks.
