Latest NetBeans 6.0 Ruby/JRuby/Rails Support
- Posted by admin on September 20th, 2007 filed in project management, rails, ruby
The first shiny Ruby-supported beta of Netbeans 6.0 IDE by Sun has been released. With Ruby’s features maturing rapidly this looks to give Radrails a serious run for its money.I’ve always been a huge fan of Netbeans over Eclipse so I’m glad to see it jumping ahead like this and adding Ruby support was a masterstroke.
After some initial playing around and testing it all looks pretty solid for a beta and not a single crash attacked me in the time I’ve been using it.
The Ruby-features in the package are stunning compared to the other editors I’ve used. With the clever code completion and solid refactoring support which has been a part of NetBeans for a while now but works well with Ruby. It also comes packed with Rails app support so you can generate your apps internally and edit - similar to RadRails’ method.
I’m really looking forward to the final release of this as it promises to be something special.
