Eclipse plugin using jruby available

Ruby JRuby
1

I just put up an Eclipse plugin that demo’s using jruby to extend
Eclipse. The plugin is simple, it just reads in a ruby file and
creates a view that displays the results of whatever ruby method you
put there.

The interesting thing isn’t so much the demo (although it’s useful;
I’ve got it turning Java into 

 html sections), it’s the idea of

making it much easier to do runtime changes to your Eclipse

environment.  Eclipse plugins are pretty painful, and being able to

just make a change to a ruby file, hit the ‘reload’ button, and see

things happen in Eclipse has interesting potential IMHO.



It’s up at github - GitHub - banshee/JrubyEclipsePlugin: A simple plugin to run a text selection through a ruby filter inside Eclipse

And as part of playing with that, I started using asm
(http://asm.ow2.org/)
to parse class files.

JRuby makes it really nice, compared to the java way of doing things.
This
code is all you need to walk through a class file printing out
everything,
including byte code:

require ‘java’

include org.objectweb.asm::ClassVisitor
super
class_reader = org.objectweb.asm::ClassReader.new fis

v = SampleVisitor.new

class_reader.accept v, 0

puts
end
