I use eclipse 3.2 I have (from the menu bar)
Run->External Tools->External Tools...

I then choose program right click new this creates a new configuration
for running external programs
in location I set the path to my ruby interpreter
in args I put irb

when I run this I get an irb running in the eclipse console (though I
don't seem to have the prompt, typing works just fine).
