Ruby / Rails IDE Comparison : Idea, Netbeans, RadRails
Ruby / Rails IDE Comparison : Idea, Netbeans, RadRails « The Nameless One
You’ll find an exhaustive list of features for : NetBeans and Idea (and 0.1.1 and RoadMap, official listing from Jetbrains with some screenshot) .
The version I’ll be testing here are :
- Idea 6.0 (Support for Idea Selena (future 7.0) is in the pipes) with Ruby Plugin 0.1.1.
- NetBeans 6 Daily Snapshot (I started with version 20070211 up to 20070221). For the moment Ruby support is only available for early adopters in the snapshot releases. It was released lately as 6.0 Milestone 7 (and you’ll wait for M8 for some more features) .
- I firstly wanted to use RadRails 0.7.2 Standalone version (I blogged about the install for amd64) or even the RadRails snapshot to avoid having the overbloated Eclipse Environment but I couldn’t get the latest RDT Plugin (with Refactoring module) to work with it, so the tests would have been biased as there have been a lot of new features developed in RadRails and RDT Ruby Plugins. So I’ll be using Eclipse 3.2.1 with RDT Snapshot Plugin (in my case 0.8.0.702111959NGT) and RadRails Plugin 0.7.2
