I have recently installed the Aptana plugin for Eclipse as I wish to learn Ruby and Ruby on Rails, it doesn't seem to have changed anything. Usually when I install a plugin of the sort, there will be new project types under the "New Project" menu, but none appeared. I checked tutorials online and they suggest that there should be new project types as seen in the image below, taken from a tutorial.
Instead, I see the same options I did before.
I wondered if the plugin didn't install, but when I try to install it again, It says it's already installed. I am using Eclipse Juno Service Release 2 with a 64-bit Windows 7 operating system and the version of the plugin from the URL given on the Aptana website (http://download.aptana.com/studio3/plugin/install). Any help would be much appreciated.
I don't know why that's happening. Here's a suggestion for how to get around it.
You might be better off installing and running the standalone Aptana Studio product. It would be a separate installation on your desktop, and thus wouldn't have the same settings as any Eclipse installation you already had, and would be more space on your hard drive. But probably there isn't much you would share between Ruby/Rails development and other development, and it's not that much space.
I've done it both ways - installed Aptana into an Eclipse I've already got, and installed the standalone version - and now I would only do standalone.
I don't know what was wrong in the first place, but after I installed the Aptana plugin, I installed the PyDev plugin. I think this removed the Aptana plugin because of conflicting dependencies (I don't know why it wouldn't tell me, though). I tried installing the Aptana plugin again and it told me there was a conflicting dependency with the PyDev plugin, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled the Aptana plugin. It works now.

So, I"m using intellij idea community addition for ruby on rails development. I installed intellij, ruby, etc. on my computer. However, when I try to install the ruby on rails plugin in intellij after clicking on opening the plugin manager and clicking "install intellij plugins" there is no plugin from the list which is called "ruby plugin." I tried several of the plugins from this website :https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/1293?pr=
....selecting the "install from disk" option. None of them worked.
help please.
Ruby development is only supported in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, not in the Community Edition.
Searching on the jetbrains website, I came up with this: https://www.jetbrains.com/ruby/help/configuring-ruby-sdk.html. However, I don't have the Ruby SDK pane. I have set the project to have the Project SDK for the version of Ruby installed, the Modules->Dependencies has the version of Ruby selected, but each time the project loads, it prompts me to set the framework to JRuby. It's not a JRuby project. Granted, I don't have RubyMine, but I thought that that was the purpose of Ultimate, to be an all-in-one.
Maybe a late response, but here's answer anyway. I stumbled upon the same issue while evaluating the Ultimate version.
To fix the "JRuby on Rails framework detected" issue, just create a new project "from existing sources". Follow the steps in the wizard and "Ruby on Rails" framework will be detected correctly - no more JRuby...
Hope it helps!
Any advice or gotchas that I should be aware of. I know to install in a NEW directory, and to have a backup. I will reread the readme file that included in the Delphi-XE installer.
I've never had problems installing a new release of Delphi with an older version also installed. I have heard that you shouldn't do the opposite (install an old version with a new one already installed) but as far as I know, installing "forwards" works just fine. And specifically installing XE with D2010 already present has never given me any trouble either at work on on my personal system.
Ive had a number of machines with multiple versions of delphi on without issue, however if you are that concerned, a further thought or consideration is to virtualise your development environments as then rather than reinstall you can "copy" .. Ive put mine into the XP mode machine on my windows 7 for that very reason.
I recommend not installing in Program Files (x86). I created a folder C:\DEVTOOLS which has my Borland, Codegear and Embarcadero folders (among others). This is definitely the 'least fuss' option.
More often when I install a plugin, doesn't recognize it.
For example using Joda Time, I have a variable LocalDateTime date (i'm importing joda library) and eclipse says unable to resolve class LocalDateTime, though the application works.
Or I have installed the grails icepush plugin but after the installation taglib files were missing.
It's a SpringSource problem?
You should upgrade to SpringSource Tool Suite (STS) which is Eclipse bundled with a suite of plugins. It has great support for Groovy and Grails. 2.5.0 was recently released and it has a plugin wizard for installing, updating, and uninstalling plugins, although it supports plugins installed from the commandline too. I find I sometimes need to manually refresh it but that's simple - just right-click on the project and select Grails Tools | Refresh Dependencies.
After installing you'll need to add support for Groovy and Grails - that's available from the Dashboard.
Download from http://www.springsource.com/developer/sts
You are not doing anything wrong, chances are the eclipse toolset is still behind the competition. As mentioned by #Burt, you can get the STS from SpringSource directly or you can get IntelliJ IDEA which also has a very good clean interface to Grails applications. The latest 9.0.3 works very well with large, complex Grails applications, and seems to have a very advanced intellisense (autocomplete) capabilities.
I downloaded and installed the Aptana Studio free version. But apparently, to install the Radrails plugin for ruby on rails development you have to connect to the internet. I don't have internet on my machine right now. So is there a way I could download the installer from another machine and copy it over my existing Aptana installation?
Update: Found a link for download here (Access denied now)
I wrote down my duel with Aptana Rails - See if this helps you.
There is a link on manual installation that may be what you're looking for.
If you're able to actually install it on the machine with the Internet connection, then you can simply copy over the directory you installed it in. Eclipse installations are completely self-contained in their installation directories.
