Good, just let me know when the CommandExecutor stuff (or whatever is
replacing it, if that's an area of change) is done.
BTW (for the folks interested in JRuby support):
I created a project for it over at Rubyforge
rdt-jruby.rubyforge.org/
There's no website, but I committed my current work to the SCM
http://rubyforge.org/viewvc/?root=rdt-jruby
The launching stuff will only work on my local Eclipse/RDT workspace
(with my changes), and I'll update it to work with the RDT trunk when
that has stabilized again.
The interpreter / Command Executor stuff should now be relatively stable. I
overhauled it to look and feel like the JDT's IVMInstall/IVMInstallType
stuff. If you're looking to add more proper support for JRuby, I strongly
suggest you look into creating a JRuby specific IVMInstallType and adding it
as an extension. You can peek a look at the StandardVMInstalllType and
StandardVM to get an idea of how I implemented it for the normal C Ruby
interpreter.
For everyone else, the result of this work has some large impacts: it moves
us back to specifying an install directory for ruby interpreters - not the
actual executable. So for *nix based systems, you'd point it to /usr or
/usr/local and it will search for bin/ruby and lib/ruby/site_ruby, etc.
I also managed to break the RI/RDoc stuff in the process, as well as
launching debug mode and Test::Unit. I went back and fixed as much as I
could, but Markus, Martin and others I could use some help making sure that
debugging is set up to work OK again.
Thanks,
Chris
