Anyone use JEdit on Windows?

[Day]

I've been playing with various editors for working with Ruby and I
like JEdit so far with the right plugins, etc... But I am having a bit
of a weird problem: I can't seem to tell the console to associate *.rb
files with the 'ruby' command so that I can use the "run current
buffer" option if I manually type 'ruby test.rb' into the console, it
runs my test file fine). Also, autocompletion isn't working.
Everything I've read seems to imply that auto-completion should work
right out of the box with the ruby plug-in.

If it helps, I'm on Windows XP, running JEdit version 4.3pre12. The
Ruby plugin seems to be version 0.9. I've got Console 4.3.6 installed
and a ton of others. I'm not sure what other information I might need
to include to be helpful.

Sorry, all, if this is a bit off topic. Hopefully those who have no
interest in using JEdit to edit ruby will skip this thread. Thanks
much.

Don't use JEdit. But I wonder associate .rb/.rbw files with ruby
interpreter in Windows Explorer help? I think the one-click installer
will do this job for you automatically if you use it.

I'm the author of the Ruby plugin. There used to be naive completion
of method names for the core classes. However I found that it wasn't
that useful, and took it out of the plugin. Instead I use the Edit ->
Complete Word to complete words that I have already used in the same
file. I also have a keybinding to toggle open the Ruby Docs view,
which allows you to search the Ruby docs for Ruby core and for Rails.

Hello,

... I can't seem to tell the console to associate *.rb
files with the 'ruby' command so that I can use the "run current
buffer" option

Locate:
....\macros\Misc\Run_Script.bsh

(it's in jEdit home dir or jEdit settings dir)

and look if there is something like this in Run_Script.bsh:


else if(mode.equals("ruby")) {
execScript("ruby", "ruby -w " + path);
}


If not, try adding these lines and restart jEdit.
