Ruby on Rails in Eclipse

[Mellissa.McConnell]

Hello,
I am trying to load Ruby on Rails into Eclipse.

Before I get into my problem, I will tell you what I have done:
I have downloaded Eclipse and Ruby.
After downloading Ruby, I extracted it to my Eclipse folder.
I have downloaded Ruby on Rails, I extracted RoR to its own file on my
C Drive.

Here is the trouble:
O'Reilly has put up a very nice walkthrough at:
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/ruby/2007/04/26/ruby-on-rails-meets-eclipse.html

I am going through this and it tells me to "Create a configuration,
"Create Rails Application," to create a Rails application. In the
Location field, specify the rails.cmd file."

In the picture the file extension is listed as, "C:\rubyonrails\bin
\rails.cmd

I open my File Directory but I cannot find a "bin" file anywhere. My
directory looks like this: C:/RubyonRails/Rails
then the following directories: app, components, config, db, doc, lib,
log, public, script, test, tmp, vendor.

I also looked through the zip file to see if a bin file was located
there, and I did not see it.

Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you!

I used Instant Rails to install Ruby and Ruby on Rails. It placed the
rails.cmd file in my ruby\bin file. Maybe that is where it needs to go
for Eclipse also.

I just downloaded Instant Rails and extracted it but no luck. I've
never setup an environment like this before and I'm having quite a bit
of trouble. Any suggestions? Maybe tutorials or something of that
nature. I have downloaded Aptana, the Aptana plug-in for Eclipse, I'm
having trouble connecting the dots.

Did Instant Rails add the Ruby.cmd file to its Ruby\bin folder? Instant
Rails includes a copy of Ruby in one of its folders, so you should have
something like c:\InstantRails\Ruby\bin\ruby.cmd for the file.

Change all instances of ruby.cmd to rails.cmd in my reply. That's what
I get for trying to think while writing.
