Hi,

## Has anyone been able to set up a Rails project on Eclipse using the Ruby Develoment Tools plugin? I set up a Rails project and can run the Rails application. But when I try to debug the Rails application it always hangs due to a DRb:DRbServerNotFound exception. Does anyone know why this is happening? I am using Rails 0.14.3 and Ruby 1.8.2 on Windows.

Try following Brian H.'s advice, here:

[Setting up a Rails Development Environment on Windows Using Eclipse | New Auburn Personal Computer Services LLC](http://www.napcs.com/howto/railsonwindows.html)

(in the section “Debugging in Eclipse”)

I was actually hoping to avoid using the Breakpointer as Brian  
suggested and do the debugging as was intended with RDT plugin. Has  
no one been able to successfully debug w/o using the Breakpointer?

Other people have been asking on the list for proper debugging, and  
nobody has given an answer saying it’s possible.
