Hi guys, I am Akira from Kyoto, Japan. I try to move from Java to Ruby.

I installed RDT from [rubypeople.org](http://rubypeople.org) but it seems to have some bugs and  
it does not help me much.  
Then, I searched ruby-talk achives and finally found such article.  
[http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/301564](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/301564)  
I cant believe it.

Is that real that RDT is now dead and we have to install DLTK which is  
shown as “incubation” in software update of Eclipse?

The reason I cant believe it is that RDT includes jruby 1.1.0 in the  
package so it must be new for the latest version of jruby is not far  
from that.  
and I have got reply from Christopher Williams, the developer of RDT,  
about installation bug in latest RDT. so it must not be dead.

Tell me the truth. I can do nothing without Eclipse plugin
