Can set and reset breakpoints but there is nothing getting displayed to  
show breakpoint has been set.

Not a big deal but annoying.

Can debug with visible breakpoints with my Java apps in the Eclipse IDE.

The breakpoints in the main ruby file show but not in other files that  
will be reached during subsequent processing.

A further issue is that when I execute in Debug mode a thread starts but  
it seems to take for ever to kick into gear.

More fodder for the Eclipse camp?
