hi

I just downloaded Netbeans 6 M7 and played with the new Ruby support.  
the first impression is really great. definitely something to try out.

one link about this:  
[http://cld.blog-city.com/cutting\_edge\_\_jruby\_support\_in\_netbeans\_60\_milestone\_7.htm](http://cld.blog-city.com/cutting_edge__jruby_support_in_netbeans_60_milestone_7.htm)

you have to install the Ruby support via the update center.

I have not tested it intensively but it looks very promising.

also has support for Rake and Rails.

best wishes

Markus

Hello,

sounds promising, but how did you get it to run and on which OS?

I’ve tried it under win but the installer ([http://www.netbeans.info/](http://www.netbeans.info/)  
downloads/dev.php, Netbeans 6, Q-Build) only produces an empty  
directory.

Any hints?

Regards,

Fabian

Hello,

I’ve tried the “Archive Distributions” version and it’s working fine  
under xp now.

Very good intellisense, the best I’ve seen so far for ruby!!

Fabian
