Hello everyone!
Netbeans 6 adds some excellent Ruby/JRuby support and it’s quite easy to
create swing GUI components
directly in JRuby code now. The Matisse GUI builder produces Java code
that
looks like it could be
fairly easily converted to Ruby code, making Netbeans a possible way of
developing desktop GUI apps
in Ruby.
Has anybody thought about writing a program that can convert Matisse’s
output to Ruby? Or possibly
extending Matisse to support Ruby code generation directly? It looks
like
that support may be added
by Sun anyway at a later stage, but perhaps someone would like to start
working on a head start.
I am thinking of looking at the code but was wondering if I’d be
duplicating
effort.

Is it out of beta? I’m using NB6 beta for my home-ruby projects, and
eclipse for my work ruby projects (Though I’m becoming far more
enamored with NB).

No it’s at Milestone 10. I am getting a bit ahead of myself in the
excitement!

Good to know! Do you just keep downloading the Ruby modules?

There’s some discussion on using the “cluster” bits from the Hudson
build page here:
http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/RubyInstallation
I mostly just grab the full daily builds of NetBeans myself, but that’s
mainly because I also want the Java IDE support and the steady stream of
post-M10 bug fixes.
I always take the full IDE - I figure NetBeans is changing everywhere,
not just Ruby, and I want the most up-to-date version. Right now I’m
running
