RDT article in Slashdot [was Re: Ruby and Eclipse]

Today, this article appeared in Slashdot today:

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-rubyeclipse/?ca=dgr-lnxw01Ruby4Eclipse

From TFA:
"One of the main limiting factors to widespread development in Ruby is
a good development environment (for those who don't want to learn
Emacs). The RDT changes that. What better way to experiment with Ruby
than in your favorite IDE, Eclipse?"

Cheers,
Ed

RDT 0. 6.0 is supposed to be out but am I the only one that can't update my
Eclipse. I see a 0.6.0.jar but haven't had success updating from my eclipse
and the zip for 0.6.0 unpacks empty despite being around 2MB.

If anyone has a solution, let me know.

Oops. I feel stupid.

I just realized the RDT file on sourceforge is incorrectly registered with a
ZIP extension but you have to rename it as a TAR file and then unpack it.
Then it works fine in Eclipse.

Just in case any of you haven't upgraded to RDT 0.6.0 already. Still can't
get the update to work.
