I can’t get Eclipse to create the files for a new Rails project in  
Eclipse. It works using the terminal. What could be wrong?

have you set up your Ruby interpreter in Window | Preferences | Ruby ?

I tried that, but maybe I didn’t do it right. Does “/usr/local/bin/ruby”  
sounds right? And maybe I should restart Eclipse?

That didn’t work. Perhaps I should run a fix of permissions.

I see. So Radrails doesn’t work at all?

In my experience radrails likes you to use: “rails my\_app” from the  
command line and then you go into radrails, create a rails project and  
server, and it picks up the generated app skeleton, but fails to  
automatically generate one on its own. That’s my workaround, anyway

Best,
