Forum: Ruby Monkeybars dead?

Hi,

I'd like to implement a standalone application using

  JRuby 1.4
  MySQL
  ActiveRecord
  Monkeybars

A few years ago, I evaluated Monkeybars using videos, netbeans and the
tutorial. Today, the webpages
http://monkeybars.rubyforge.org/examples.html seems, out of date and the
Kenia Project page http://kenai.com/projects/monkeybars is not complete
(wiki marks each pages with some keywords).

How to start from scratch? How to generate the project stub? With
Netbeans 6.7.1, am I able to use a Ruby Project instead of a Java
Project for Matisse to work?

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

Daniel

The video tutorials at the Rubyforge site are current and informative. 
I wish there were more in written form, but there isn't. :)

No.  But you can put Ruby files in a Java project.  The videos explain 
all this.

Mmm, I seemed to be blind eyed. At the rubyforge site, I can' find any
videos. At monkeybars.org There is an section called 'Old screencasts'
and the flash video didn't return if I click the play button. The link
labeled 'If you have problem watching this video click here [AVI]'
returned an 404 :( Could you please be so kind and send me a link?

Yes, I haven seen it a few years ago, but as mentioned, I can't find the
videos anymore.

Oops!  I did mean monkeybars.org.  Sorry.

They were there a couple of months ago when I got started with 
Monkeybars.

I'd say so. :)

Did you check out the tutorials at 
http://monkeybars.rubyforge.org/tutorials.html ?  Several of these 
contain screencasts with a recent version of Monkeybars.

Are you sure the version of Monkeybars in these videos is *recent*?
Version 1.x?

Since I hear David Koontz' voice videos, these may be a bit dated.

There probably aren't any major differences, though a few things may
have been added or renamed since the version in the tutorials.

Of course I'm not certain.  But it's recent enough that things still 
work the same way.
