Re: [PhillyOnRails] Anybody tried installing the Rails plug-in(s) for Eclipse 3.x IDE?


Saturday morning.

Kudos for the tip, Xiao. So that's what happened to RadRails. I wondered where they were.

http://www.aptana.com/docs/index.php/Integrating_RadRails_with_Aptana

The folks at Aptana say, "the Linux version is coming soon", so we'll wait one:-)

I did try the Komodo IDE, and wasn't as pleased with it.  It's ok for debugging simple scripts, but
I thought the level of integration of several development tools was fairly low.

The nice thing about the notion of folding RoR as RadRails into Eclipse as a plug-in is that
Eclipse took over the work done on Visual Age, which was a very good Java IDE for integrating
several tools.

You will be able, apparently, to use Aptana as a plug-in for Eclipse 3.x on LINUX in the future.

Have you ever tried Aptana?  They took over the RadRails development and it works well in Linux environments.

Downloaded Eclipse IDE (version 3.2) from eclipse.org, and it looks like it will be fine on
Suse Enterprise Desktop 10 from Novell (Another LINUX distro that nobody at eclipse.org managed to test:-).

Has anybody tried the RoR plug-in(s) for Eclipse 3.x ? 

If you google "Rails in Eclipse", you'll find somebody's blog on this subject.

I'd like to try using some DB2 UDB connectors from Eclipse, and perhaps call them from
Rails or Ruby or RoR code with something like an RMI call. (More under-the-hood "loss of Ruby
purity" with API fumbling about:-)

Some developers believe that Big Blue still has the best optimizer for SQL in the marketplace (heavens,more marketing controversy;-) , and they've folded some
of this SQL optimizer logic into the UDB - DB2 product for LINUX.
