how to configure netbeans for ruby on rails ?

Update: Netbeans has dropped support for ruby, unfortunately.
The netbeans documentation has sections on that matter:
http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/ruby/setting-up.html
http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/ruby/rails-quickstart.html

Additional info. On Apache NetBeans IDE 11.1 it will work!! (latest version as of 2019)
You need to get a copy of org-jdesktop-layout-RELEASE82.nbm and install it first.
I found it in this directory on the bits.netbeans.org release site:
http://bits.netbeans.org/nexus/content/groups/netbeans/org/netbeans/api/org-jdesktop-layout/RELEASE82/
After it is installed, follow the directions above from Marcos Riveros and you should be good to go.

Google suggests:

Currently, if you download Netbeans 7.0.1 (not the latest), you can use Tools->Plugins to open the Plugins window. Click on "Available Plugins" and search for "Ruby on Rails". Select it, and click install.
Unfortunately, the current version of Netbeans, 7.1, will not offer the Ruby on Rails plugin to you on the Available Plugins tab. The following blog post gives some hope that it will eventually be there:
http://blog.enebo.com/2012/01/workaround-for-ruby-support-on-netbeans.html
In the meantime, use 7.0.1.

Try install plugins manually:
1. Download and unzip the plugins for you netbeans http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/38549/ruby-and-rails
2. Click to tools->plugings->Downloaded, add path-to-pluging-downloaded.
Firts install the jar plugins (org-jruby-jruby.jar) and second install the pluging *.nbm.

Grails 3.x Will Not Activate in Netbeans 10.0

I want to use Grails 3.x with Netbeans 10.0. When I downloaded Netbeans 10 I ran netbeans64.exe (I'm assuming this is for 64-bit machines?). And Groovy was not installed from the Plugins section (but was available for installing). So I checked the box to install it but it will not activate. I only get the option to Uninstall.
What am I missing here to get this working? I have grails 3.3.6 installed if that matters.
Having the same problem with NetBeans 10.0 and Groovy, I downloaded "Gradle Support" plugin from http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/44510/gradle-support
and installed it into NetBeans (Tools -> Plugins -> Downloaded -> Add Plugin...). After that I could open my old Gradle project. Hope this helps.

Ruby on rails plugin - Intellij idea

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.

IntelliJ Ultimate Detects Ruby On Rails as JRuby

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!

netbeans - plugins require HTML Editor Library to be installed

I am attempting set up Netbeans 7.1 as my RoR editor. When trying to install plugins I get the following error:
Some plugins require plugin HTML Editor Library to be installed. The
plugin HTML Editor Library is requested in version >= 1.21 (release
version 1) but only 2.0.1 (of release version different from 1) was
found. The following plugin is affected:       
Embedded Ruby (RHTML)
I looked for this HTML plugin so I could install it but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
It seems that the Ruby on Rails plugin has some problem (i.e. does not support) Netbeans 7.1 and 7.2. But it works with version 6.9 and 7.
Reference: http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/38549/ruby-and-rails
If I'm not wrong this is the lovely 207075 from the bugtracker: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207075
In fact there's a workaround for this issue:
http://blog.enebo.com/2012/01/workaround-for-ruby-support-on-netbeans.html
good luck.
If you want to install it on a newly downloaded Netbeans (7.1 in my case), you should first go to Tools > Plugins, select Updates Tab and install the updates. Then, after restart, you'll go to the mentioned above Plugins, and now you will able to install all the required updates (HTML Editor will be among them.)
Lastl thing, as #skripted already mentioned, just install the plugin by following the instructions on this page.

How do I run alternative Rails generators in NetBeans?

Does anybody know how I can run alternative Rails generators in Netbeans 6.7? I have installed nifty-scaffold and want to want to find how I can run the following command from the IDE:
script/generate nifty_scaffold etc ....
I have installed the nifty-scaffold gem, but it does not appear in the drop-down list when I select 'Generate' for my project.
(I am running NetBeans on Windows)
It would be very easy to add new generator extensions in netbeans. Netbeans doesn't do it
automatically, you need to do it manually. I am using NetBeans ver 6.8 and installed nifty generators successfully in netbeans by following procedure:
1. Download gems file of ryanb's nifty generator freely available.
2. install in netbeans from tools->rubygems-> install Local
3. go to the directory C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.8\ruby2\jruby-1.4.0\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\rails-2.3.5\lib\rails_generator\generators\components. It shows all the generators available in netbeans.
4. go to the directory C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.8\ruby2\jruby-1.4.0\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\nifty-generators-0.3.0\rails_generators. It shows the nifty generators which you have just now installed.
5. Copy all nifty generators to components directory shown in step 3.
6. right click on project and click generate and you will find the udpated list of all new generators

I assume that when you say you installed the gem, you did so through the Generate...->Install Generators button?
However, it does seem to be a defect. I've tested it too on Windows & Netbeans 6.7 and reproduced your problem - Netbeans can't find the generators even though script/generate can. It's probably worth shooting an email off to the Ruby Netbeans mailing list and/or filing a bug here.
You can create a folder named "generators" in your "lib" folder and put any generator folders in it and it should be working.
Or put that "generators" folder in your "vendor" folder.
Link to nifty-generator GEM(version 0.3):
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=6986
I wasn't able to install local gem from github, but above link works.
It works with Rails 2.
