Re: [Rails-devel] New build process and installer for Rails 2.0?

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

No it should not be a show stopper for you, as running from/inside 
Eclipse will be the same as before.

I will keep Eclipse myself as development tool for this project, even if 
it is not my preferred one to ensure that it will always build without 
any problems inside Eclipse to avoid breaking it for others.

So usually you will only have to pull the new code and everything should 
build automatically in Eclipse. If it does not, please ask.

Build tool here refers to build process for the package to publish, 
which means creating the .jar file and to add all libraries and resource 
files into a compressed archive (.zip or .tar.gz) for a new release.
