RadRails is a Rapid Application Development IDE for the Ruby on Rails framework. The goal of this project is to provide Rails developers with everything they need to develop, manage, test and deploy their applications. Features include source control, debugging, WEBrick servers, generator wizards, syntax highlighting, data tools, and much more.

The RadRails IDE is built on the Eclipse RCP, and includes the RDT and Subclipse plug-in. The RadRails tools are also available as Eclipse plug-ins.

At EclipseCon 2006 Radrails won the Community Award for Best Open-Source Eclipse-based tool.

The original core developers of Kyle, Matt, and Marc have refocused their energies on other projects. On March 8, 2007 it was announced that Aptana will be taking over the RadRails project and providing a seamless, integrated experience between HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Ruby on Rails. The product will continue to be open source.

Currently there is outage with the DNS servers that the radrails.org site relied on, Aptana created a link to a mirrored radrails.org site: http://www.aptana.com/radrails.
