It's even easier than that. 1. Download/Install Eclipse from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ ; You'll want the "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers". 2. In Eclipse, select File > New > Project 3. Select Projects from CVS. 4a. If you have a sourceforge.net login, use these settings: Host: rails.cvs.sourceforge.net Repository Path: /cvsroot/rails Connection Type: extssh User and Password should be self-explanatory. 4b. If you don't have a sourceforge.net login, the only difference are these two things: Connection Type: pserver User: anonymous This should check out the current codebase from CVS. Once you've got that, you can right-click on the project folder (or click the Run menu), and select Run As, and select Java Application. It should try to locate the main() method to run. The one you want is in rails.util.RunGame. ---Brett.
