Ruby & Windows-world; IDEs

RDE is decent, except that it has been known to spew unusual errors. But,
when it’s working, it’s pretty good. I think I stuck to 0.9.6, btw.

Another option for Windows is Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org) with the RDT
plugin (http://rubyeclipse.sf.net). This has support for the debugger as
well, but only for Ruby 1.6.8 (at least, that’s what I think the docs said).

Regards,

Dan

Hi all,

one of the things that seems to be more important
to the odd Java-coders than to emacs/(g)vim people seems
to be IDEs for Ruby in the windows-world.

The freeride 0.5 windows IDE does not yet support debugging.
Is that a big fundamental problem, or can one hope that this
gets fixed by the certainly dead busy development team in the
next few months?

What IDE would you recommend to the Windows-developer?
Is RDE any good?

I am only fishing for ideas.

Thanks
-A.

I’ve tried the plugin although some time ago someone in this group
posted it wasn’t usable, yet. I didn’t like it mainly because I
couldn’t get rid of all this Java stuff in the menus. :wink:

Cheers
Sascha
