Aptana with fast debugging

Note: The RichText blog has moved to www.ricroberts.com

I blogged a while back that Radrails was taken over by Aptana. Recently, someone entered a comment on this old post saying that Aptana now supports fast debugging. So I thought I'd give it a whirl.

To get it to work, you need to install the "ruby-debug" gem, the "ruby-debug-ide" gem, and follow these instructions.

This is a very useful feature, although having used TextMate for a while I prefer its clean look over Aptana's rather cluttered feel.
