Env: Windows XP, Eclipse 3.2.1, RadRails 0.7.1, Subclipse 1.0.3

Is there a How to install Substruct in Eclipse?

Checkout from SVN
Installing Substruct
http://dev.subimage.com/projects/substruct/wiki/InstallingSubstruct
Step 5 the vendor/plugins folder is empty

  1. Initialize the database tables using the following unix commands.
    Translate to DOS if you need to.

This loads the initial schema, updates to the latest using migrations,
then finally loads authority data into the DB.

cp vendor/plugins/substruct/db/* db/
chmod +w db/schema.rb
rake db:schema:load
rake load_authority_data
rake db:migrate:engines:substruct
rake db:migrate:engines:substruct RAILS_ENV=‘production’

No, and I don’t know why you would want to install Substruct from
Eclipse…

I’m new to Ruby and Eclipse is the IDE I use.
When learning a new Java technology like Hibernate, Axis, Struts I
deploy an example war file in Eclipse to help reduce the learning curve.
What strategy would you suggest for Substruct?

Shows how much you know…

If you install the recommended way, from the wiki, you will get
Substruct
locked to a constant, stable version of Rails.

There really is no reason at all to upgrade rails whenever a new version
comes out…unless it’s a security patch FYI.

No. You’ll have to import it yourself.

PS: I recommend TextMate on Mac or UltraEdit (maybe Komodo) on PC for
Rails…Eclipse and IDE’s are overkill imho.

PS: If you don’t know know much about engines (and it seems you don’t)
please go read this.

  1. install Substruct from the wiki
  2. use Eclipse/RadRails to make modifications…
    Is the existng Substruct project somehow imported into Eclipse?
