Someone suggested changing the command line arguments to NetBeans to increase the size of the memory for the JVM, but that didn't work for me. Instead, I figured out how to load gems from the command line, and once I did that one time, I was able to use the gem manager in NetBeans.
So, in more detail: Originally I had installed NetBeans from a privileged account using all the default options. To get new gems, in a non-privileged account, I had to create two environment variables with the following values:
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_05Your values may differ, particularly the version numbers. I wrote it here as you'd do it in the command prompt window, but I actually did it using the System control panel.
set JRUBY_BASE=C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.0.1\ruby1\jruby-1.0.2
I opened a comment prompt window and did:
%JRUBY_BASE%\bin\gem install login_generatorAfter a couple of minutes, everything seemed to end normally. I did Tools->Ruby Gems from a running NetBeans instance and didn't get the desired results, so I restarted NetBeans and then Tools->Ruby Gems got me a list of gems, including login_generator as an installed gem.
I had the same problem. Used your solution. Worked.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Thanks for the pointer, however, I am still having the Out of Memory error when updating Ruby Gems. I am using Netbean 6.1. Any other suggestion?
