As always, feedback and suggestions are welcome. I would prefere i pure ruby IDE [because the nature of Ruby requires an native IDE for efficient development]. like e.g.: http://freeride.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl - I understand the multilangue requirement, which is covered by jedit. And possibly there are peole that have not the code-size reuquirement (like me), thus they can use java stuff. But wouldn't then eclipse (www.eclipse.org) be the more natural choice? quasi-industry-standard, very liberal license. > Special thanks to all the free software programmers whose work is > being leveraged to create the plugin, particularly those in the JRuby > team for their excellent Ruby parser, and Slava Pestov for jEdit > itself. > > The Ruby Editor Plugin and jEdit are released as free software with > full source code, provided under the terms of the GNU General Public > License. > > Cheers, > Rob > > > -- http://lazaridis.com
