Re: [Rails-devel] Help learning the source?

[Martin B. <dr....@t-...>]

Good evening Jonathan,

i am glad to be of assistance.
I personally use Eclipse to handle everything IDE wise. The Code can be
found as a git repository on sourceforge.

The main component to run resides on the 1.8/1.9 branch in
rails.util.rungame. In eclipse you can rightclick on the class and eithe
run the class as Java Application or Debug :) Just as easy as that.




The following branches are more or less active in the moment:


rails_2_develop is the development branch for 2.x
rails_2_maintenance is the maintenance branch for 2.0
rails1.8.x is the development and maintenance branch for 1.9 in the moment.
rails.2.0 is the release branch of Rails2.0

the other branches you see is development ongoing (more or less private
branches denoted by the initials of the developers mbr=is me for example..)

If you use eclipse theres currently no need to run gradle. You can
handle everything inside your IDE.

More in the next post.

Regards,
Martin
