Eclipse is the most commonly used Java IDE. Ruby on Rails provides some plugins to enable its use in Eclipse. Two such plugins are Ruby Development Tools and RadRails. Ruby Development Tools (RDT) and RadRails are open source Ruby IDEs for the Eclipse platform. Some of the features of RDT are syntax highlighting, syntax validation, error markers, code completion, code formatting, and Ruby unit-testing framework integration. RadRails features include code assist on Ruby and RHTML files, debugging support, integrated server views, generators, dynamic testing, and integrated deployment. In this article, we'll develop a Ruby on Rails Create-Read-Update-Delete (CRUD) application in Eclipse under Windows. If you haven't already installed Eclipse, download and install Eclipse 3.2. Also install the MySQL database if it is not already installed.
