[…] Get either Easy Eclipse’s distro for Ruby on Rails (Ruby+Rails) or LAMP (Ruby+Rails+Perl+PHP+Python) - needs Java 1.4 or 1.5 installed. […]

Ok it is the same for me. It simple does not work. The debuger does not whow the line of execution and no variables. I have download the debuger (gem install ruby-debug-ide) and does not solve anything.

Good work, but why keep JDT?

There is still one plugin in that distro that requires it, ecilpseutils. But after chatting with the author, we will fork it so that it does not have any dependencies in JDT, then we will drop JDT happily

I am facing a weird problem after installing the latest version of easyeclipse for ruby on rails (infact I tried aptana ide as well w/o luck). It installs fine and I can create a new project and add files. When I try to open a ruby file bigger than about 2 KB using the ruby editor the system hangs forever. The file however can be viewed using other editors even inside eclipse. Seems like a system problem but I am clueless. Any help would be appreciated

Hi I’m using version 1.2.2.2, but when I edit a .rb file, and type

puts ”

the double quotation mark does not get automatically closed, even though I checked the box for that feature in the Preferences. Please enable the auto-close feature so that it works in this situation, as it is very common for me to type code like this (puts “……”).

Makes sense to me. Right I am in the middle of a new release, and entering a bug/feature request at http://sf.net/projects/easyeclipse would go a long long way !
Would you be able to do that?
Thanks!

Could you create a bug @ http://sf.net/projects/easyeclipse and attach your entire log file?
Which OS and processor are your running? Vista or Windows XP?
