NetBeans
6.1 M1 is now available. Download here!

There are several
features in M1. But the feature I liked the most is storing
multiple Ruby/JRuby runtime configurations in the IDE. In NetBeans 6.0
only one Ruby platform could be configured and stored. So if you have
to change to another Ruby environment then you have to edit the values
in the IDE. 6.1 M1 allows to configure and store multiple Ruby/JRuby
runtimes. Click on "Tools", "

Ruby
Platforms
" and you are presented with the following window:

I've already added JRuby 1.0.3 as an additional platform. And
then you can choose the Ruby/JRuby runtime when creating the Rails
application as shown below:


Cool, isn't it ?

Please leave suggestions on other TOTD that you'd like to see. A complete
archive is available here.
