Now is the time to switch my ruby IDE to redcar?

Oracle will keep on technologies of NetBeans only, but others are not!?

One week ago, as you know, Oracle had completed the acquisition of Sun Microsystems, and started to integrate both all technologies. In Japanese news source, OpenOffice.org goes independent GBU of Oracle, but NetBeans and Glassfish will be kept on only technologies, but others (product and its name and so on) will be integrated to "Oracle Fushion" series.

NetBeans 6.8 has been released finally

In 4 days ago, NetBeans 6.8 FCS has been released.

This Ruby bundle installer bundles JRuby 1.4.0 and FCS of Glassfish server 3(JavaEE 6). But there are one bug for non-English users. Plugin URL contains language code like catalog_ja.xml.gz.

So we should remove it like catalog.xml.gz.

Release of NetBeans 6.8 RC1 is postponed three times!

The release day at first plan was 11/09. The release day at second plan was 11/15. And the release day at latest plan is today, 11/24. But today, it is postponed also.

Netbeans 6.7 Beta allows Ruby 1.9 syntax

NetBeans 6.7 beta was released 3 weeks ago. As I mentioned at phosphorescence: IDE for Ruby 1.9.1, NetBeans 6.5 didn't allow ruby 1.9 syntax. But NetBeans 6.7(beta) not too? So I download from here, install, and check it. Result is below.


There are 3 ruby 1.9 syntaxes.

• optional argument allowed not in last
• ->() lambda
• .() lambda call

As you can see, no warnings!(Of course, run successfully.)

IDE for Ruby 1.9.1

For Qt 4.5, there is a IDE named "Qt Creator". For Ruby 1.8.x, there are many IDEs. But for Ruby 1.9.1, IDEs that support 1.8.x don't support yet. Please see InfoQ's article for more information.

But, except syntax of Ruby 1.9.1, IDEs work almost fine. So I planned to use one of ruby IDE, NetBeans. I choose ruby download bundle, neither all-in-one bundle and JavaSE bundle and so on. I download, install, and launch this IDE.

If LD_LIBRARY_PATH must be edited, see also #3, and launch from command line with edited LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

After adding Ruby 1.9.1 platform in menu Tools -> Ruby Platforms, I write one sample program from Rapid GUI Development with QtRuby, and run on the IDE. This result is below:
