NetBeans IDE 6.0 is, among other things, a Ruby and Rails text editor
The NetBeans IDE is a modular, standards-based, integrated development environment (IDE) written in the Java programming language. The NetBeans project consists of an open source IDE and an application platform, which can be used as a generic framework to build any kind of application.
The focus of NetBeans IDE 6.0 is improved developer productivity through a smarter, faster editor, and the integration of all NetBeans products into one IDE. Please download it, check it out and let us know what you think. The NetBeans IDE 6.0 is scheduled to be released in November 2007 (see roadmap).
Beta 1 was great. It’s even better now. I haven’t had any major issues in Beta 1 and I’m still trying to find what’s really “new” in Beta 2, but let’s say I think it will make you pretty satisfied.
Check out the code templates feature of NetBeans! Example: Simply type “:” (colon) then press Tab. I know, other Ruby editors (and IDEs) do this too, but it’s nice to see NetBeans have it too.
