Guys,
This sounds like an awesome list of stuff, but a feature that I think
would help a lot of with JRoR projects would be to improve the debugging
experience. Right now the only way to get JRuby on Rails debugging to
work in NetBeans is by setting an undocumented property in a config
file. And even then, it's quite buggy. From what I understand Netbeans
needs to have the fast debugger supported in JRuby before this situation
will improve. I would be willing to lend a hand on this if someone
could point me in the right direction. I've done a ton of Java and am
doing more Ruby all the time, but I'm not too familiar with the
internals of JRuby or how this would need to work.
Hi Chris,
I've rewritten a lot of ruby_debug.c (76kB of C code) into the JRuby
based Java code. I started with empty skeleton written by Charles
(src/org/jruby/debug/RubyDebugBaseLibrary.java in headius branch).
Currently I'm having:
Context.java
DebugBreakpoint.java
DebugEventHook.java
DebuggerContext.java
DebuggerDef.java
DebuggerFrame.java
Debugger.java
RubyDebugBaseLibrary.java
Util.java
But it's one big mess, since I started in very similar position as you.
A lot of Java coding, some Ruby coding, 8+ year ago C coding. So I'm
still deleting and rewriting what I wrote as I'm getting into the JRuby
APIs (BTW purely documented guys! ;) )
I did not expect anyone to join so I did not share the code anywhere.
And actually I'm not sure if it is sharable yet ;)
Probably I could commit something soon into debug-commons at
rubyforge.org (right place?) after some clean-up. But not sure how much
time I find in the next few days. I would let you know. Also depending
how soon are you willing to start. Probably immediately? :)
