Hi, I’d like to implement a standalone application using JRuby 1.4 MySQL ActiveRecord Monkeybars A few years ago, I evaluated Monkeybars using videos, netbeans and the tutorial. Today, the webpages [http://monkeybars.rubyforge.org/examples.html](http://monkeybars.rubyforge.org/examples.html) seems, out of date and the Kenia Project page [http://kenai.com/projects/monkeybars](http://kenai.com/projects/monkeybars) is not complete (wiki marks each pages with some keywords). How to start from scratch? How to generate the project stub? With Netbeans 6.7.1, am I able to use a Ruby Project instead of a Java Project for Matisse to work? Any help is appreciated! Thank you in advance. Daniel ---

How to generate the project stub? The video tutorials at the Rubyforge site are current and informative. I wish there were more in written form, but there isn’t. 🙂 > With > Netbeans 6.7.1, am I able to use a Ruby Project instead of a Java > Project for Matisse to work? No. But you can put Ruby files in a Java project.

At the rubyforge site, I can’ find any videos. At [monkeybars.org](http://monkeybars.org) There is an section called ‘Old screencasts’ and the flash video didn’t return if I click the play button. The link labeled ‘If you have problem watching this video click here [AVI]’ returned an 404 ☹ Could you please be so kind and send me a link? > > With > > Netbeans 6.7.1, am I able to use a Ruby Project instead of a Java > > Project for Matisse to work? > > No. But you can put Ruby files in a Java project. The videos explain > all this. Yes, I haven seen it a few years ago, but as mentioned, I can’t find the videos anymore. Regards, Daniel ---

Since I hear David K.’ voice videos, these may be a bit dated. There probably aren’t any major differences, though a few things may have been added or renamed since the version in the tutorials. – James B.
