Rails on Eclipse 3.1

Here is a nice how-to on setting up Eclipse 3.1 for Rails Development. If you have yet to try Eclipse, you should take a look. It is one of the best free code editors I have ever used. Some great features include:

  • Code bookmarking
  • Cool code navigation options
  • Built-in tasks
  • Subversion integration (via a plugin)
  • Extremely extensible

Over the past month and a half, I have pretty much quit using Dreamweaver in favor of Eclipse. I realized that I was pretty much using Dreamweaver as a plain code editor and not using it’s WYSIWYG features, so it was a bit of overkill.
