Ruby Screenshot of the Week #2

Here are some things to notice:


  • NetBeans knows you're creating a method definition for a class, so it only
    shows method matches that are inherited from the superclass. In this case,
    we're inheriting from Integer and there are two method matches that start with "ab" - one from
    Numeric and one from Object.
  • It shows documentation for the method, based on the rdoc
  • It shows where each method is coming from
  • It's dealing with moderately broken source

  7. [Trackback] On Thursday, Charles Nutter and Thomas Enebo gave a “breakfast briefing” on JRuby. It’s a good thing Charlie had forwarded the information on to the RUM list because otherwise I for one never would have found it - when someone at work...
