| Can I help out with DLTK Ruby? [message #948594] |

Hi,
I'm in need of good Ruby support in Eclipse. I've looked at the DLTK and
it seems great in many respects. But is it actively being developed? I
found to my surprise that it doesn't support the hash syntax introduced
in Ruby 1.9 yet:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=386350
and that seems fairly fundamental. I'm willing to help out and provide a
patch unless someone else is working on fixing this already.
While looking at the DLTK code I noticed that it has not yet been
transitioned into Java 1.5. No typed collections and no generics. I'm
the guy who did that transition on the p2 code-base so perhaps I could
help out with DLTK too? All if there's an interest of course.
In short, what's the state of DLTK Ruby and in what ways can I help?
Kind Regards,
Thomas Hallgren

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for offering the help!
Unfortunately DLTK-Ruby is not actively developed at the moment.
Generics: Parts are updated (slowly :-)) when there is a need for other
changes in the same part. Just not to introduce (more) bugs during bulk
update.
Ruby 1.9: DLTK uses parser from some old JRuby, converting JRuby AST to
DLTK-specific one. Now they have kind of IDE-oriented parser
https://github.com/jruby/jruby-parser , so it should be updated and to
have it enabled for usage we should file a CQ.
Definitely, Ruby needs somebody to work on it.
Regards,
Alex

Yes, I figured that would be the case and in fact, I've done some work
on switching to that parser already :-)
Could you please enter the CQ and CC me on it? I don't think I'm
entitled to do that on behalf of DLTK.
