I am interested in working in eclipse to use and extend to some of its  
projects. However, I would really like to use Ruby (or jRuby) to poke  
around  
interactively within eclipse (i.e. programatically browse around the  
java  
objects, test out snippets of code, etc.) and to develop my extensions.

Is this doable? What’s the best way? I am not an Eclipse expert.

Thanks!
