I just want to say thank you for the great work. Downloaded, installed and worked just fine.
it is great to know that Eclipse works with ruby. Thanks a lot.
I am having problems getting the debugger to display any variables or values as the program runs. Any suggestions? Thanks.
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.
why not use UnitTest and Logger?
I always log all the variables which needs to show their value or so into a file.
and everytime you want to debug just run the Unit Tests and will know which is fine which is wrong.
Debugger… makes my eyes and brain too tired. :p
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
When I creat a view ( .rhtml ), the IDE does not open it in the RHTML editor, it gives an error.
When I click Servers pane, occur error.
Unable to create view: org/rubypeople/rdt/ui/TableViewerSorter
Details
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/rubypeople/rdt/ui/TableViewerSorter
at org.radrails.server.internal.ui.ServersView.createTableViewer(ServersView.java:127)
This shoujld be fixed with the new release. Please tell me if you have more trouble.
hi

its also the same case with aptana which i aslso tried
pls help
Jags
Hi
I’m using the same platform like Jags and
I’ve got the same problem like Jags too.
It seems eclipse open .rhtml file with plain text editor not rhtml editor
and I don’t know how to fix this.
Hus
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!
Thanks for your guidance; I submitted it as a feature request.
Hi,
first thank you for your effort, keep up the good work.
I installed on a fresh vista and is says “an error has occured. See log file …”
the log file starts with the following:
eclipse.buildId=M20070212-1330
java.version=1.5.0_09
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=ar_TN
Command-line arguments: -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86
!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2008-01-20 21:22:34.088
!MESSAGE Application error
!STACK 1
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-win32-3236 in java.library.path
…..
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?
I have the same problem on window vista for easyeclipse for php with a database (1.2.2.2). Does anyone knows to resolve this problem? I really want to use this software. Thanks
A temporary solution: find the eclipse.exe (Somewhere in Program Files/Easy Eclipse for X) executable, right click, open properties, compatibility tab, check the box that says ‘run as administrator’.
Please reference:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-17456.html
I’ve got the same problem like Jags too
Your RadRails and RDT plugins are the best! I was rather dismayed after Aptana had ruined RadRails and thought I might just have to stick with RadRails-0.7.2 until I found EasyEclipse. I don’t need any of the other tools in this distro though, so I just download the RadRails and RDT plugins from here and add them to the Eclipse Platform Runtime Binary.
Can someone tell me, when was this last updated
hi, I’m new to ruby and what a better way to start than doing it on easyeclipse. I have the easyeclipse desktop for java 1.3.1.1 and is working perfectly. but I installed easyeclipse for ruby and rails and when I’m trying to run a ruby application it throws a message that says “the especific JRE does not exist”
hope you can help me
OS: winXP SP2
Thanks
1.2.2.2 crashes on launch on Mac OS X 10.5…
Same as “Gam”, 1.2.2.2 crashes on launch on Mac OS X, this time 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Log file starts out like this:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2009-09-24 23:15:44.384
!MESSAGE An error occurred while automatically activating bundle org.eclipse.ui.workbench (145).

Solution for Mac OS X (Snow leopard)
Looks great, but I was hoping to use the vimplugin for Eclipse. However, when I try and install from the plugin distribution site, easyeclipse refuses to install the plugin, complaining with:
RadRails (0.8.0.200707021211) requires plug-in “com.aptana.ide.core”.
I experience the same problem whenever I try to install *any* kind of additional plug-in. I got either the above error or one saying “Configuration problem…”. Not even installing Subclipse was successful…
