Hi,
I would be interested to try the Ruby Eclipse plug-in. So, I downloaded
the latest version of Eclipse (3.0RC1, RubyEclipse mentions 3.0M8, should
I use that older version instead?) and I downloaded the plug-in. I then
extracted eclipse, put the RubyEcplise zip file in that directory and
unzipped it (so the folder went to their proper places I guess since it
extracted to plugins/ and features/ I think). Next step, I started
Eclipse, went to the Help menu, Software Updates, Find and Install…, I
select “Search for new features to install”. Now I have a screen called
"Update sites to visit" and according to the documentation, I have to add
one for RubyEclipse. So I click on “Add Update Site”, I input
"RubyEclipse" for name and I entered the URL
http://rubyeclipse.sourceforge.net/updatesite/ and clicked OK (or Add,
can’t recall the exact name). I unfolded RubyEclipse and checked the RDT
box. I clicked on Next, and there are zero (0) search results.
So, is there something wrong in the way I try to add support?
Thank you for your help,
Vince.

The Ruby Eclipse plug-in, and many others, do not work past 3.0M8
because the org.apache.xerces plugin was removed as of 3.0M9.
Apparently, everyone is supposed to use JAXP instead. This has been
mentioned on the RDT forums, though I don’t know if has officially
been reported as a bug.

As Daniel Berger already stated, the current RDT release (0.4.1) does
not work with eclipse release beyond M8.
I then
extracted eclipse, put the RubyEcplise zip file in that directory and

There are actually two alternative ways of installing RDT: Either you
download the zip file and unzip to the plugin directory or you use the
update manager. After unzipping the zip file RDT is installed. Looking
for updates with the update manager will therefore not display any
updates, because the version on the update site is identical to the
installed version. Only after a new version is available, the update
manager will display the new version for update.

So does that mean wait until the plugin is rewritten to use JAXP, or is
there something end users should do to get it to use JAXP?

Unfortunately there have to be changes in the code, so there is no easy
way like manipulating some of the plugin.xml files. While we were still
moving development to M9 the RC1 was released on last saturday, so we
have to catch up with the eclipse development. Depending on how much
work is waiting for us, we will either release for RC1 or wait for the
final 3.0 release, which is due end of june.
