After installation of the RadRails plugin, I restarted the Aptana studio as directed. I received a prompt to install gems (activesupport, rake, etc), which I confirmed, but the environment hangs on the 'Auto-Installing gems...' dialog after that.

Is there any error about this in your logs? (Help > Aptana Troubleshooting > View Aptana Log)

Actually I figured out what was going on, by looking at the log. I was trying to get this to work with InstantRails, and I had not changed the workspace to the correct InstantRails directory. I also had ruby in my path (via cygwin), but I did not have rubygems installed. As a result, the Aptana installer just hung, with an error message in the log. When I updated the workspace to the correct directory (rails_apps) it found the correct ruby interpreter and everything else and worked fine.

Not sure if this is still an issue (should it timeout or something?), but just wanted to let you know what was going on.

Ah, that makes sense. So I've added a pre-check to see if RubyGems is installed before I try to auto-install any of the gems. If it isn't I'll pop a warning dialog asking user to install it and then not try to install any gems.
