Using Eclipse with Ruby [message #176757]

Hi
I have just installed Eclipse 3.2 with the RubyPeople plugin with an idea
of using this IDE with my Ruby development. Having used JBUILDER to run
Java programs before I thought that Eclipse would be pretty similar
however I have fallen at the first hurdle trying to get it to run and
debug a simple Ruby program. The source loads OK but I cannot set any
breakpoints and step through the program. I can run the program without
the debugger and it produces output into the console window. Is there
anything further that I should add to debug the code?

Hmmmm.... I'm not sure if there's anybody here with experience enough to
help you with the RubyPeople plug-in. There are (apparently) some forums
available from the www.rubypeople.org website that may be more helpful.

If you're using the Cygwin Ruby, there's a known problem:

http://rubyeclipse.mktec.com/cgi-bin/trac.py/ticket/117

If you're not, then I'm not sure... but rubypeople.org sounds like a
good place to start.
