I'm thinking of writing an IDE for a microcontroller.
This IDE will be written in ruby/GTK.
I also need an editor in this IDE.
Are there any existing editor components I can use?
Maybe a bonobo component?
I could write one from scratch, but that seems a waste of time.
I'm new to all this, is there someone with tips, links?
If such a component doesn't exists, what would be the best way to
make it? (I don't mean how to create the editor, but how to make
it as a component)

You could maybe use Scintilla: http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/
I don't know if there is any Ruby binding for it, but doing one in C should not be very hard.

There are a couple of components that you can use:
- GtkSourceView - which doesn't have a port to Windows
yet (I think). Mono-sharp uses it, for example.
- Scintilla - which has ports to Windows, though one
of them is for Fox. I'm not aware of a port (to
Windows) that uses Ruby/GTK. FreeRIDE uses it, for
example.
I've got syntax coloring for Ruby from Ruby/GTK by
using the AEditor Ruby Lexer:
GtkSourceView should work very similarly to it, 'cause
both use TextView.
I'm slowly developing this new Ruby Editor, though the
priority is to develop the Gtk_Rules library.

This look nice. Not a lot of features, but this may be an
advantage. I don't need a windows port at the moment.

Looks like it has a lot of features.
Maybe a good idea to make ruby bindings that support both.
Thanks for the tips.

Regarding GtkSourceView vs. Scintilla, be sure to note the licensing
difference. GtkSourceView is GPL, while Scintilla has a BSD/MIT style
license. This may make a big difference depending on your project.
FWIW, Scintilla is very nice. It's the editor used in Komodo, which I like a
lot.
The only disadvantage are the missing ruby bindings.
I'm thinking of making those, not sure yet.

If you do decide to do this, you might want to take a look at FreeRIDE's
bindings. At least you'd have a working starting point.
