RDT - IDE for Ruby development

I've been assigned to a project which is developed in Ruby. Because I'm not familliar with Ruby, I decided to use some IDE to work on the project. Because i like Eclipse for java/c++ development, my first choice was to look for Eclipse based IDE. Quick google search returned RDT - or rubyeclipse. Of course I've also bookmarked Ruby Tutorial. I'll post more after I play with it a little bit.
