Eclipse: Working with other languages

Getting Started with Eclipse and JRuby

The Dynamic Languages Toolkit (DLTK) plugin is a popular method to work with Ruby in

Eclipse. Aptana has a Ruby/Rails plugin, but most programmers seem to recommend the

DLTK plugin over it.

To install the DLTK Ruby plugin:

Install Eclipse, if you do not already have it. I like to start off with a minimal

Eclipse installation.

Go to Help -> Install New Software. From the dropdown choose All Available Sites.

After the list below fills up, choose Programming Languages -> Dynamic Languages Toolkit –

Ruby Development Tools. Install it and restart Eclipse.

Configure the Ruby or JRuby interpreter you want to use in

Window -> Preferences -> Ruby -> Interpreters.

You can create Ruby projects and edit, run and debug .rb files now in Eclipse!
