[Dltk-dev] I am interested in working on the Ruby debugger.

[Tristan Hume <trishume+listdltk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am interested in working on and possibly rewriting the DLTK Ruby debugger engine to work with Ruby 1.9

I
 believe the best way to do this would be to implement the 
ruby-debug-ide protocol supported by almost every ruby implementation 
including 1.9.3, 1.8 and JRuby.
I notice that the the current implementation is written in Ruby and implements the Dbgp protocol.

I
 am wondering if a DLTK developer could give me some guidance on how the
 debug infrastructure works and how I could go about writing a debugger 
engine in Java that implemented a different network protocol.

Thanks,
Tristan Hume
