Ruby IDE public beta test available from CodeGear

May 23 2007 3:09AM

The JBuilder team is hard at work on building an IDE for Ruby which is now available for beta testing. You'll need to create a CodeGear Developer Network account to join though it's pretty easy as those things go. Joe McGlynn is the Product Manager and he's got a lot of good content on his blog related to Ruby so be sure to check it out. The official press release is available here.

Here is a list of key features:

A complete IDE with full support for Ruby and Rails, enabling advanced development features such as Code Completion, Refactoring, type browsing and navigation
Innovative new "Commanders" that uniquely merge the power of the command line with the ease of use and productivity of the IDE, Wizards and Code Insights
Dependency visualization and navigation to seamlessly work with all resources regardless of their relationship, location or format
A full set of development and deployment modules including Ruby, Rails, Gems and Database

[Updated: May 23, 2007] Change CodeCentral -> Developer Network. I used the wrong name.

A minor nitpick. A https://members.codegear.com/newuser.aspx">CodeGear Developer Network (CDN) account is required. CodeCentral doesn't have it's own membership system, but uses the same membership system used by all CDN applications.

Thanks David, I meant to say CDN. I'll get it fixed.

Looks like a java jar/class problem, eh? Anyway, I'm really interested in road testing this IDE. Hope they get it fixed.

David,
There should be information for access to Field Test newsgroups so you should be able to post there and get more information. At this point, I'm too busy on Highlander (vNext Delphi) that I haven't had a chance to play with it. If I had to guess I say the problem you're seeing probably isn't ubiquitous thought the FT newsgroups should be able to clear that up pretty quilckly.
