Ricardo, I know, I've been writing some JRuby code in the past few weeks, and debugging with 'puts' is annoying, That's why I looked at the debugger connection of RDT and JRuby; I believe you saw the discussion on jruby-user, and the problems (a deadlock in tracing code) are fixed in the upcoming JRuby 0.9.2. Debugging JRuby with RDT is possible (I got it to work under ... let's say 'lab conditions'). I'm working to bundle this up nicely so it's possible to just run some JRuby code from RDT and have Debugging "just work (TM)" if you use JRuby 0.9.2. The RDT debugger uses a Ruby debugger implementation that doesn't quite work with JRuby (some regex don't work, and there's some other small stuff). I'm working on a JRuby plugin that adds special support for JRuby to RDT. At the moment I have: - Code Browsing clicking on the "org.foo.Bar " in include_class "org.foo.Bar" goes to the right class; - Text Hovers primitive, but docs for fully qualified class names can be shown; - JRuby Launch support This is useful in that I hacked RubyInterpreter and CommandExecutor to use an Extension point; this allows a JRuby CommandExecutor which sets the JAVA_HOME of the Java process, and - if the started Ruby code is inside a JDT Java project - sets the CLASSPATH variable (this means, the launched JRuby process will have the CLASSPATH of the Java project all set up, so all libs will be visible) TODO: - an action that will allow to a) set the Ruby nature and builder on JDT projects and b) set Java nature and builder on Ruby projects; - proper JRuby debugging support; I got a proof of concept for this, but need to figure out how to integrate it properly; - maybe some templates for "include_class" or similar constructs; - tie a bow around it Some of these things need a few small patches to RDT, but I hope to get this done before the end of the year. murphee -- Blog @ http://jroller.com/page/murphee Maintainer of EclipseShell @ http://eclipse-shell.sourceforge.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
