Here's an IDE for Ruby - Do you know of any others?

[JustKIDn]

I was just poking around the net today and found FreeRIDE!

Has any one heard of FreeRIDE yet?
Do you know of any other IDE's for Ruby?
I think a good IDE is just what Ruby needs for a good bump start. What do you think?

http://www.rubyide.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl

Some of FreeRIDE's features include:

* Multi-file editing
* Syntax highlighting
* Auto-indenting
* Source navigation by module, class, method, etc.
* Integrated debugging
* Written in Ruby for easy extension

Some planned features include:

* Full internationalization
* High-end refactoring support
* Remote pair programming

It looks like there's a lot of good info about FreeRIDE at this site. I haven't seen enough yet to formulate an opinion. But what I have seen so far looks nice. Just thought I'd share this right away at Tek-Tips with you all.

That sounds really cool! I'll have to check that out! A buddy of mine where I work is also into Ruby, sadly though, I haven't had much time to get into it, as I wish I had. The remote-pair-programming feature sounds REALLY cool!
I'm getting into Xtreme Programming, and really think the idea of pair-programming is a smart one.
I'm sure my buddy will hop on with wagon with me, and I'll get to test that out while we learn Ruby.

Thanks for the info!

Oh, but in response, I haven't used any IDE's at all lately. I'm a Vim man.

Hi Jim,

I haven't heard from you in a while. Seems you've been fairly quite around here lately. Your new job must be keeping you pretty busy.

I thought you might be interested to know, I also found this one called RDE (Ruby Development Environment);

http://homepage2.nifty.com/sakazuki/rde_e.html

It also looks pretty impressive. Although I haven't looked very close at it yet.

You are right tgus, I visit pretty rarely. Work keeps me really busy. To be honest, my job has almost taken the fun out of computers.

Anyways, it's good to see I wasn't forgotten!

Thanks for being part of the Ruby forum. It'll be neat to see it when Ruby becomes main stream.

It looks like Free RIDE has moved:

http://freeride.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?HomePage

The

http://www.rubyide.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl

link does not work (as of September 25, 2003). In fact,

http://www.rubyide.org/

does not seem to work, either. A little digging on the net reveals that this free Ruby IDE project moved to RubyForge.

Enjoy!

Sigh, Something happened to the URL. Here is the new location for Free RIDE:

http://freeride.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?HomePage

Actually, the URL works in both posts, above. Something in this sites logic is masking the URL string. Let's see what happens if I unclick "Process TGML" and "Emoticons/Smileys" in the message editor.

Now the URL shows up correctly but is not an active link. It looks like Tek-Tips has a problem parsing URLs.

Hi!

I have to confess I'm a Textpad fanatic - I use it to compile/run python, perl, java, ruby, c, c++, and to do things like run Ant apps... I think it's great having "one-stop shopping" for compilation/interpretation... with some of the downloads available syntax highlighting is possible (python, ruby etc.) - making it even spiffier.

I use Mondrian (

http://www.mondrian-ide.com)

It is simple, clean, and is written in ruby. I have installed and used it on Linux (debian), and Windows (XP, and 2K).

Eclipse also has Ruby plug-ins.

I tried the ruby plugin for eclipse but did not really able to debug coorectly. I'm using RDE (Ruby Developpement Environment) which is a GUI Environment. Easy to use and install. Just add "-rubygems" to the debug command line in RDE.

I use two eclipse plugins, one for Ruby and one for Rails.

RDT (Ruby Development Tool):
