[news.eclipse.technology.dltk] Debugger not working on JRuby (Ganymede)

[steven.punte@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Steve Punte)]

Hi,

Debugging on JRuby has not been working for a long time.  I was hoping to 
see it come alive as Ganymede release approached.  I'm using:

Eclipse:  3.4RC5
DLTK:     0.95.9.v20080611-1900
JRuby:    1.1.2
Java:     JDK1.6.0_06

and Debug->Engines = "Ruby Built-In Debugger"


However, the same problem as reported in this note 
(http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.technology.dltk/msg00263.html) 
still exists.  i.e. "Debugging Engine not connected to IDE".

Debugger works fine using classical ruby.

I looked in .metadata, but there was no "{workspace 
root}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.dltk.ruby.basicdebugger/debug_log.txt" 
log file to be found, and no directory of this name either.  

However, file "{workspace root}/.metadata/.log" did produce the following:

!SESSION 2008-06-21 19:25:46.096

Any help greatly appreciated!
