How to use Eclipse for Ruby on Rails (RoR)


To save you some legwork, in Eclipse:

  1. Go to Help -> Install New Software...
  2. Click add (top right of popup)
  3. Enter a Name like "RadRails2"
  4. Enter the location as http://download.aptana.com/tools/radrails/plugin/install/radrails-bundle (for the full Aptana studio Studio 3, instead enter http://download.aptana.com/studio3/plugin/install)
  5. Click ok
  6. Restart Eclipse
  7. Go to Window -> Preferences. You will see Ruby is enlisted at left panel

You are done...

Now when you use the "New" menu, you'll have the option to make a Ruby project (among other things).


You need to install aptana sudio eclipse plugin and radrails will be included.

I am using Eclipse Luna and installed Ruby(DLTK) 5.0 kepler from Eclipse Marketplace. I just imported my existing Rails project and seeing it working well with this. I am still exploring it. Hope that helps.
