NEED help:  
My group are working on rails IDE and we’re in the wizard part now and  
we’re  
trying to generate the Rails skeleton and we looked in the rubygems and  
found in  
gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.2  
/lib/rails\_generator/generators/applications/app/app\_generator.rb  
what does it do, does it generates rails skeleton? are there any other  
scripts we need to execute as well?  
plz email me at removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid

You need to look for the “rails” script, probably in /bin directory.

Please send messages about rails to the rubyonrail group; this group  
is for the discussion of the engines plugin only.
