Description enebo 2011-05-03 15:20:31 UTC
No right click context menu on Rails project if no Ruby runtime set up.  Once you define a Ruby runtime then the menu displays useful stuff.  From original report:

> I've just installed NetBeans 7.0 (Build 201104080000) and added the Ruby
> plugin (1302981014_nbruby041611). I'm running Windows 7 32 bit.
>
> Right-clicking a Rails project doesn't display a menu on initial install.
>
> The menu appeared when I opened the project properties and defined a Ruby
> Platform to use with the project.
>
> I think the system should show something prior to a platform being defined.
> Preferably a warning that a Ruby Platform needs to be selected, and a link
> to the project properties.

Another option (which I am surprised it doesn't work this way already) is to have JRuby that is shipped be the default Ruby so that the menu will work right away out of the box.
