If you''re happier with a full-blown IDE, RadRails or some eclipse-variant should suit you well (although even on my dual G5, eclipse doesn''t exactly fly). If on the otherhand you prefer working in a text editor with terminal windows, etc, then you can do much worse than TextMate. It''s the best impulse-bought (Serial #12) software I have :) - james On 1/27/06, Mikkel Bruun <mikkel@helenius.dk> wrote:> Jeff Jones wrote: > > Mikkel Bruun wrote: > >> Joshua Gitlin wrote: > >>> Just a quick question, if I were tired of typing ruby into a terminal > >>> editor, say I wanted, oh, a scroll bar, mouse support, and maybe > >>> syntax highlighting?

Joshua: Not under java to my knowledge but I am on OS X and my favourite editor by far is TextMate. What makes TextMate so cool for me (there is lots of other cool stuff) is their snippets editor. You have to try it, it''s just great. In essence it gives you a very simple way to define abbreviation such as "tbl5" and instantly create a table with striping and 4 rows. It''s cooler than that, but you''d have to try it to see just how cool. It''s inexpensive for the time it will save you at something like 39 Euros. Highly recommended. bruce On 27-Jan-06, at 6:51 AM, Joshua Gitlin wrote:> Just a quick question, if I were tired of typing ruby into a > terminal editor, say I wanted, oh, a scroll bar, mouse support, and > maybe syntax highlighting?

I use RadRails and am very happy with it. I like using RadRails rather than Eclipse + plugins... the RadRails package is cleaner and rails specific. It takes a bit to load on a Pentium-M 512M notebook, but once loaded it is fast enought that I don''t wish it to be faster.

Just a quick question, if I were tired of typing ruby into a terminal editor, say I wanted, oh, a scroll bar, mouse support, and maybe syntax highlighting? Anyone know os a good Ruby/Rails editor or IDE, one that runs on OS X, possibly in Java? Sure... There''s RDT (http://rubyeclipse.sf.net) for Ruby, and RadRails (http://www.radrails.org) for just Rails. Both are built on top of Eclipse, RadRails comes packaged with everything you need in the download, RDT comes as a set of plugins you install/unzip on top of Eclipse. The next RadRails (0.5.3?) release should integrate RDT right into it, so to get everything you could just download RadRails. Also, there is a Ruby plugin for JEdit. -Chris http://cwilliams.textdriven.com

I am using RadRails 0.5.3 on a AMD64 Debian Sarge box and am very impressed by it. I particularly like the Data view for SQL queries, svn integration. RDT integration (with 0.5.3). Kyle Shank and company are doing a fantastic job with it. Way to go guys! It has come a long ways in a short time. That said, prior to RadRails I was using FreeRIDE which was quite usable. I am at a loss why the community didn''t jump on this and develop a rails plugin, since it IS written in RUBY and has a built in debugger, and syntax highlighting etc. With its FreeBase plugin architecture it is quite extensible. It is #5 in downloads at Rubyforge, The only downside is the fact that it uses the FOX gui library. But I had no trouble installing it on Debian. My 2 cents worth :) -bakki On 1/27/06, Joshua Gitlin <josh@digitalfruition.com> wrote:> > Just a quick question, if I were tired of typing ruby into a terminal > editor, say I wanted, oh, a scroll bar, mouse support, and maybe > syntax highlighting?
