Tor and the guys over at the NetBeans Ruby IDE project now have Mac OS X binaries available of their continuous integration builds. I have personally been using the NetBeans Ruby IDE since (ruby cluster) build #85 or so. It’s a really usable IDE for Ruby and Rails.
The SCM leaves a bit to be desired coming from Eclipse’s awesome Team Sync, but for Ruby development there is no better free IDE at the moment.
Download it. Then go to Preferences -> Miscellaneous and set your Ruby to /usr/local/bin/ruby and set your Subversion binary path to /usr/local/bin/ and once you relaunch you will be ready to go.
Tips: There are menu items (right click on your project) for script/generate and rake commands. You can even do some simple refactoring. If you press Apple-Shift-F it will neatly and correctly format your Ruby code.
Nice work Tor and team!
