Haven’t used it myself but I know RadRails ([http://www.radrails.org/](http://www.radrails.org/))  
is an Eclipse plugin to work on RoR projects. May be you can use it  
also for other things apart from rails.

Hi,  
radrails is actually based on RDT, which is a ruby plugin for Eclipse

I use Eclipse RDT plugin and like it very much. You can find it here:  
[Aptana.com | Axway](http://rubyeclipse.sourceforge.net/index.rdt.html).

Sylvain,

I use Eclipse for Java programming but I’m having some problem running  
Ruby under Eclipse, particularly pointing to the the Ruby Interpreter  
either on Mac OSX 10.4.7 or on the RDT site.  
I tried within Eclipse the help, software update, etc… but never  
succeeded.  
Any advice you could offer?  
Jean-Pierre

Use Eclipse 3.1.2 – NOT 3.2. The newer version of Eclipse does not  
work well with the RDT plugin (0.8). Specifically, the ruby debugger  
does not show variables. (But then again, you should probably learn to  
use IRB for debugging first.)
