I’ve been working with Eclipse for a couple of years. Before using eclipse, I used a “personal” copy of IntelliJ IDEA. I tried to migrate 3 times from IntelliJ to Eclipse (around the 3.0 Milestones period), but every time it ended in a fight with the project structure in eclipse and the automatic build stuff. The third time it succeeded and I have used Eclispe since.

I am working with multiple languages (Java , PHP, Ruby) and now that NB6M7 supports Ruby development, I decided that I give it a try. The result is very nice. It feels better than working with RadRails. The installation went without any problems.

You have to take into account that the Ruby support is still very young and can result into problems. For example I upgraded to rails 1.2.3 and my application faild to run with a “stack level too deep”. When I switched from the built-in usage of Webrick to the stand-alone usage of Mongrel (script/server), the application ran again fine. So keep in mind that strange things can happen while developing your rails-app.

Tor, Charles en Tom keep up the good work.
