Hi Logan,
Let me say first that Monkeybars is a pretty cool project, I'm happy
that you guys have settled on NetBeans.

Yes, this is indeed unfortunate. Java integration in Ruby projects (and
vice versa) is still pretty basic; certainly an area that could use
improvements. For 6.7 it is too late to do any new
features/enhancements, but better Java integration is one thing that
I've been considering for 6.8. That would include things like being able
to add new JFrames to a Ruby project. Unfortunately doing it properly is
quite a big chunk of work and, as always, there are a bunch of other
things that would need to be addressed in 6.8 as well. So can't promise
anything at this point :/

Do you mean when using the Run action with Compile on Save enabled? Did
6.5 really copy also data files to the build dir in this case (AFAIK it
shouldn't have)? Or do you mean something else?
Thanks,
