| <h2>Ruby Source Code Editor</h2> |
| <p> The editor indents, completes, and highlights your Ruby code |
| syntactically as well as semantically. It assists you with rename |
| refactoring, type inference, and navigation. The editor parses your |
| code live as you type, so it can match words and brackets, mark errors |
| and occurrences, and display new quick fixes and RDoc. With a few |
| keystrokes you insert commonly used code snippets from live templates. </p> |

| <h2>Ruby Projects</h2> |
| <p> The Ruby project type supports Ruby files, RSpec |
| specification files, and YAML files. Use the Ruby Platform manager to |
| choose between executing projects using JRuby, or any other native Ruby |
| interpreter on your system. </p> |
| <p> The IDE has Rake build tool integration and gives you access |
| to the Interactive Ruby Shell (IRB). Refactoring and support for |
| Test::Unit, Auto Test, Shoulda tests, and RSpec are well integrated. |
| You can also track hints and errors in the task list. </p> |
| <p><br> |
| </p> |
| <h2>Ruby on Rails Projects</h2> |
| <p> The Ruby on Rails project type supports Rake targets and |
| database migrations. The Rake Runner dialog keeps a list of the |
| previously entered parameters and automatically populates the list of |
| parameters for migrate and fixtures tasks. You can generate Rails 3 |
| projects, or generate code through the Rails code generator graphical |
| wizard. The logical project view clearly separates controllers from |
| models, views, and database migrations. </p> |
| <p> Edit ERB files and deploy projects directly to the WEBrick |
| and Mongrel web servers. You can jump quickly between a Rails action |
| and its corresponding view, and warp to the browser for the URL most |
| relevant to the file you are editing. </p> |
| <h2>Ruby and Rails Debugger</h2> |
| <p> Single-step or run through Ruby code and ERB files. Set |
| breakpoints, look at local variables, navigate the call stack, switch |
| threads. Hover the mouse over a variable in the Editor to evaluate the |
| expressions and show it in a tooltip. The NetBeans IDE supports the |
| Fast Ruby Debugger, which also works with JRuby. You can debug Ruby |
| files that are not part of a NetBeans project, or attach the debugger |
| to any remote process started from the command line, and get all the |
| advantages of a user-friendly debugger frontend. </p> |

| <h2>Ruby Gems Installation Manager</h2> |
| <p> Extend your Ruby installation using the integrated Ruby Gems |
| packaging system. You can configure $GEM_PATH or $GEM_HOME using the |
| Gems installation manager. Add and manage freely available Ruby |
| software libraries, and distribute your own packages. The Gem Manager |
| even allows you to uninstall a certain version of a gem. </p> |
| <p>If you install the Bundler gem, you can run Bundler actions |
| from the project context menu.</p> |
