I have been playing with Ruby on Rails for awhile mainly learning from Agile Web Development with Rails book. So far, I have been content using the SCITE editor and gedit in Linux Fedora Core 5. Now that I have pretty much gone through the example shopping cart application in the book, I would like to be able to browse the source code not only for the book example, but the core Rails product as well. Is there an editor/IDE which is freely available on linux and allows for code browsing of parent classes, auto completion etc? I am quite familiar with Eclipse in Java environment. Somthing similar would be quite useful. Kindly provide links to these sources. Thanks and regards. Bharat

There is a radrails feature for eclipse ...

[http://www.radrails.org/page/download](http://www.radrails.org/page/download)

I installed the eclipse feature using the update site. I already have eclipse for java development so I don't need the whole radrails app. It's just a customized version of eclipse anyway (I think).
