I did an article for the wiki on how to do some of these things with
eclipse now.
It covers syntax highlighting and script generators
http://www.napcs.com/howto/railsonwindows.html
With this setup, I don''t have many needs for my environment.

Hi Ronny,
Feel free to join the rdt team! The development mailing list is:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=9198
We are always looking for help! Right now we are trying to stabilize a
0.6.0 release. After we do that we''re going to determine what features
we want to add fora 0.7.0 release. There are 2 intermittent issues left
before we release (IMO).
Many hands make light work and you''re enthusiasm, ideas and willingness
to help will be graciously accepted!
Thanks,
Zach
