The new Solaris Express distribution is coming with a bundled install of NetBeans. If possible, modify the configuration of Ruby for the SXDE bundle of NB so that its default Ruby interpreter is the Solaris native Ruby that is going to be bundled as of build 78. I will add a comment indicating where the interpreter will be installed by default as a comment to this issue once I find out. Working on that now.
Ok, should be easy with new platform manager.
Another thing to do (if you haven't done so already) is to not only look at the path for Ruby interpreters, but look in known locations, and in particular, rather than only adding /usr/bin/ruby on Solaris, add one for EACH version found under /usr/ruby/<x.y>/bin
Do we really want to do this? We are bundling JRuby by default which I supposed is what should be the default. Note that there is some clever autodetection of platforms among the IDE (Ruby Platform Manager, Platform comboboxes). I know we had some long discussions but I'm not sure what was the result. So is current situation OK (autodetection) or do we want to do more. Let me know, since now after infrastructure overhaul we can implement whatever.
