Netbeans team,
I've been maintaing the Monkeybars gem, a library for GUI development
on JRuby using Swing. We've strongly encouraged Netbeans as the IDE of
choice to get the neat GUI builder that comes with it. We had to set
up our projects as Java projects in order to get things to work. We've
always thought it best that we made these as Ruby projects, but we've
been pretty happy that we could get it to work. I've been tracking 6.7
RC1 and 2 and I've noticed that we have a lot more JRuby awareness in
Netbeans. This is great!
Unfortunately, you can't add new JFrames and friends to your Ruby
project. I haven't tried editing existing Swing components from a
different project yet. To make things really hurt for us - the Java
projects no longer automatically copy over data files (which includes
Ruby scripts) into the temporary dist directory. This means we have to
manually build for every change we make to re-run the app.
It would be great if we could go forward to 6.7 with using Ruby
projects, but I'll take what I can get. Is there anything we can do to
ensure Monkeybars and Netbeans are compatible come 6.7?
Thanks for your time.
