JetBrains Announces JRuby Support for Ruby Plugin
Oleg Shpynov, the lead for the IntelliJ IDEA Ruby plugin, announced JRuby support will be available as part of a public beta version due out in early September.
New Features will include:
- Scope based autocompletion and resolving
- Rename for local variables and fields
- Javadoc like help for ruby classes, modules, methods, etc
- JRuby run configurations support, that allows you to run scripts
using JRuby interpreter.
In the future we’ll planning to have full JRuby support, with
navigation, resolve, autocomplete for Java classes.
- Opportunity to run current script / test method / all test methods
in class / all test methods in given location
There’s also a new book that will be available September 24 (according to Amazon.com) from Ola Bini, contributor to the JRuby project.
“Practical JRuby on Rails Web 2.0 Projects: Bringing Ruby on Rails to Java” (Ola Bini)
