The shop I’m working for has a bunch of (non-GUI) test automation  
written in Python, to which I’ll be adding some GUI scripts written in  
Ruby/Watir.

There is an existing svn repository like  
[https://OurSVNrepository.com/svn/mwtest/trunk/misc](https://OurSVNrepository.com/svn/mwtest/trunk/misc)

I added a /mwtest/trunk/misc/watir folder to the project and tried to  
save my .rb file there, but eclipse is complaining:  
Save could not be completed.  
Reason: The project trunk is supposed to have a ruby nature.

Googling: “The project trunk is supposed to have a” nature.  
gets me 0 results. Do I need to create a separate project for my ruby  
scripts? Can I somehow give this project a ‘dual nature’?

I should note that I have RDT 0.9.0 installed, and have a project for  
the watir project here that works just fine (I can save to  
[https://svn.openqa.org/svn/watir/trunk/watir](https://svn.openqa.org/svn/watir/trunk/watir)) so my eclipse setup in  
general shouldn’t be the issue.

Thanks,  
Jeff
