Ruby 0.5 plugin vs Selena/Intellij7

Ruby plugin always compatible only with the latest EAP (which is
frustrating, especially when plugin developers can't make an update for
some time). Download it from
http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/IDEADEV/Selena+EAP . Go to
Settings->Plugins, switch to Available tab and find Ruby plugin.
Right-click on it, Download and Install, restart IDEA.

ps. it's also better to try software first, because I wouldn't say that
Ruby support in IDEA is the best at the moment.

hi, I apologize if this is elsewhere but I am a newbie. I want to use ruby rails! So I have bought a license, seeing the info that I'll be getting 7 also. I thought 7 had ruby/rails but I found out that only selena has it. So I now have three large versions of intellij on my mac and no ruby/rails plugin. I did download the Ruby_4352.jar and I tried putting it into the appSupport directory, to no avail. Here are my questions;

[]how do I uninstall the 2 extra versions?

[]how do I get the latest ruby plugin to be seen and useable? Currently when I open up Selena-7274.app with the latest jar in my app support, it says "installed ruby incompatible". And when I remove it from that directory it says nothing for ruby under installed -nor- under available.

I see all these versions are very new so maybe there's a little tweak you all need to add. I am glad I found the first words on the demo page telling me to get the plugin :)

Hi, Anne!

>[]how do I get the latest ruby plugin to be seen and useable?
At the current moment the latest Ruby Plugin(Ruby_4352.jar) isn't compatible with Selena-7274. But you may download the previous Selena EAP(http://download.jetbrains.com/idea/idea7269.dmg).

Then

Also the latest plugin version is 0.2 (not 0.5), for more information visit http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/RUBYDEV/Rubyplugin0.2releasenotes.

You can delete corresponding idea's *.app from Applications folder. If you want to use Selena and copletely remove IDEA 6 you should also delete your Idea 6 settings and caches:
Config: ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIDEA60
System: ~/Library/Caches/IntelliJIDEA60
Plugins: ~/Library/Application Support/IntelliJIDEA60
