Great job Erno,

Anyway, I did this all before the Rails/Merb merge was announced, which obviously impacts this effort -- once Rails 3 is out separate Merb support in the IDE will gradually become obsolete.

Actually, now that Rails 3 will support multiple stacks and modularity we will need all the features you worked on for Rails 3. After all merb 2 == rails 3 so it would be really too bad to give up on features that will be required very soon. (and which are already required for Merb devs and people wanted to have an idea of what kind of new stuff rails3 will have)

Hi folks,

Before Christmas I checked in basic support for Merb apps, the code is in the ruby.merbproject module, but it isn't part of the standard build. Currently it covers:
- new project wizard
- project customizer
- logical view
- running Merb apps
- running tests
- Rake runner
- IRB
- possibly some other standard project stuff that I don't recall now

I haven't had much time to test, let alone to polish it, so except a rough ride if you give it a try.

Anyway, I did this all before the Rails/Merb merge was announced, which obviously impacts this effort -- once Rails 3 is out separate Merb support in the IDE will gradually become obsolete. Given that and the fact that I've got a ton of other things on my plate, I'm afraid that I can't spend much more time on this. I'll try to find the time to do some rudimentary testing, fix the most obvious bugs and publish the module on the update center for 7.0. If anyone wants to take over the module and develop it further, you're most welcome to do so.

Cheers,
Erno
