Re: Ruby parser

Hi,
You need to write a plug-in parser for ruby.
Probably, 'plugin-factory/README' in the global-6.2.9 package
is help for you. The ability to understand class structures
is not implemented yet.

Good luck!

I see on the ToDo list to add the ability to understand class structures.  Is that being done?  Or are there some well thought out and detailed plans on how to do it?  Ruby could take advantage of that to some degree.
