Has Ruby been removed in DLTK 6.0? [message #1820598]

I've installed DLTK in version 5.10 some months ago using the Eclipse market place in Eclipse 2019-09 and set a new system for one of my collegues up today, using Eclipse 2019-12. DLTK was not available anymore in the market place and after adding the update site manually, I recognized that Ruby was missing from the options of available components to install as well. Reason was that the market place added the update site for latest versions, which has been updated to version 6 and that doesn't seem to contain Ruby anymore. After changing the update site manually to 5.11, Ruby was back again and could be installed successfully.

http://download.eclipse.org/technology/dltk/updates-dev/5.11/plugins/org.eclipse.dltk.ruby.abstractdebugger.source_5.11.0.201811220629.jar

Is there a reason why Ruby has been removed and things are not available using the market place anymore?

This plugin wasn't maintain since years. You should switch to https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/ruby-solargraph

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. The following documents some problems I ran into:

cmd.exe /c gem install -V -n C:\Users\tschoening\Documents\Eclipse\Ruby GitHub\.metadata\.plugins\io.github.pyvesb.eclipse_solargraph solargraph

It seems Solargraph doesn't quote paths correctly, so the above fails. Good news is that one can install Solargraph manually instead using "gem install solargraph" and simply configure the resulting path in the preferences of the plugin. That where one can disable automatic updates as well, with paths like above they won't work anyway.

https://github.com/PyvesB/eclipse-solargraph/issues/7

For some reason things started to work as well only after I made the bin-dir of Ruby and for GEMs available using the environment variable PATH, even though Solargraph provides a setting at least for the first. But didn't test any further after things worked for now, might not be a problem at all.
