[Ruby-Eclipse-Win32] How to install

Recently, I downloaded eclipse for windows (version 2.1) and then got
the Ruby plugin for it (version 0.3.2). I unzipped the plugin into the
Eclipse/Plugins directory. If I look into the help inside eclipse and
select Ruby Development Tools/Getting Started/Preparing the Workbench,
it says that in the preferences dialog I should select Ruby/Installed
Interpreters.

This doesn’t exist for me. There is a ruby entry under Preferences but
it only has editor as an entry under ruby. Any ideas about what I did
wrong?

That is very strange. By any chance did you have Eclipse already
running when you installed the plugin? If so, restarting should solve
your problems. Otherwise, I recommend reinstalling Eclipse and the
plugin. A couple times the plugin didn’t seem to “take” for me for some
reason and reinstalling Eclipse worked.

Sorry I can’t be of more help.

I never really installed eclipse. I just unzipped it and ran it. Is that
bad?

No, that’s how it goes. If you’ve unzipped the plugin under the plugins
directory and restarted the workbench, that should be all you have to do to
get it installed. My experience, however, is that the menus for plugins may
be hard to find since they can be sensitive to the perspective you have
open. Read the docs again and play around. If it’s installed, you should
find it.
