I installed RadRails a while back and uninstalled it after it said that my trial had expired.
Is it correct that this is the only option for Rails development in Eclipse?
And is there any other - free - option for Eclipse? (I tried "Ruby RDT" but it doesn't offer any Rails support, just basic Ruby editing.)
Use the full Aptana Studio, and after it says the Professional trial is over, you can continue using the Community Edition mode.
Doesn't seem to be a way to just get the Community Edition by itself, but it'll just ask you to close and restart Eclipse after 30 days.
Try Aptana IDE - it is Eclipse based and totally free. Also as much as I know its Rails support is bases on Rad Rails eclipse plugin.
BTW, I'm using NetBeans 6.5.1 for Rails and I've already convinced everybody is my office that it is better than Aptana :)
I was using Eclipse for a while for Rails development, based on RDT plus mods described in the following article:

I am actually developing a plugin for redmine, Currently using netbeans 6.9
(OS: Linux)
But the problem i am facing is to get the changes i have manually restart the redmine server from console.
Is there a better IDE/ Configurations? Any one who has worked in same area, can provide some guidance?
Also i would like to know how to run Redmine server in development mode, so that it eases the development process.
Any suggestions/Directions would be helpful, appreciated.
Thanx in advance.
Well i can recommend you using RubyMine as an IDE from my personal experience. It is an excellent IDE with a lot of new features.
you can download it for free from the link given below
http://www.jetbrains.com/ruby/
I have been using Grails for some time now, but in school they are making us use Ruby on Rails. I have been trying to find an extension for ruby on rails for STS as there is for Grails, but I have failed. The only thing that comes close is a plugin so i can use ruby code in my Grails app using JRuby. I just want to make sure that a fully integrated extension DOESN'T exist.
If that is the case, what would be the graphical IDE way of developing in ruby on rails, the same way one would use STS for Groovy on Grails development?
(preferably free :) )
Try JetBrains RubyMine, it's an IDE for Ruby and Rails.
Aptana Studio is the best and free IDE for ruby on rails.
Old versions of Netbeans got a good support for language, but no longer updated for new releases.
I like JetBrains.
http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/home/ will allow you to build Rails framework apps. Look in the new install listing and I 'm sure you will find the url for Ruby and Rails. The type name is now under DLT Dynamic Languages Tools. RDT is a bit old and the EasyEclipse uses that.
Try yhis for radrails org.nexb.easyeclipse.radrails of course you know namespaces like this are backward. The best I could come up with for that is http://www.nexb.com/corp/. Or my STS has Juno - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno and look under Programming Languages DLT Ruby to get started.

I tried aptana few months ago where only the beta version was available.
Unfortunately, I had a lot of problems and for this reason I turn back on NetBeans. Today I noticed that the version 3.0.2 is available but I don't want to make the mistake again, before changing platform, I would like to know by some Aptana's users what they think. Is there valid reasons to change my currently IDE Netbeans passing to Aptana for RoR 3 developing ? What are the features that Aptana offer and Netbeans doesn't has ?
IMHO you will want to use RubyMine. It's by far the most complete Rails IDE and you can really customize it to work the way you want. There is a trial version for 30 days on their site. I am currently using it in conjunction with the VIM bundle and loving it. Netbeans is not supported anymore so you will probably want to move out at one point.
I am looking for an editor/IDE on windows doing autocompletion like eclipse (you start to type and there is a list of possible functions/variables). I tried Netbeans but it does not support network drives, I tried ruby mine, and aptana, but the tab gizmo requires you already know ruby on rails very well to be used.
Is there a Rails editor for windows with autocompletion?
I think JetBrains makes the best IDEs on the market, hands down. Take a look at their Ruby Mine. It's not free, but some things are worth paying for.
Take a look at this thread:
Ruby on Rails Editor for Windows
Aptana RadRails is an extension for eclipse with ruby on rails support and is open source.
RubyMine is also another good editor but it is not free. RubyMine is surely a useful IDE but you might try the open source IDEs first.
I am looking for an IDE with Ruby on Rails autocompletion on windows. Netbeans seems to be ok but he is buggy and the wizard for importing existing project does not work. RubyMine is unable to read files from a network drive (and you must pay for it!).
Is there any Ruby ide autocompleting code with at least the rails API and eventually my project classes?
Take a look at Aptana Studio 3 Beta, that runs on Eclipse. One of it's features, RadRails, provides exhaustive support for both Ruby and Ruby on Rails.
Try e editor. The power of textmate on windows!
