Introduction
This addon adds support for .rb (ruby) scripts in Freeplane, so that you can use .groovy .js and .rb scripts
Freeplane supports .groovy and .js (javascript) scripts out-of-the-box. This addon adds support for .rb (ruby) scripts, enabling you to use: <freeplane-user-dir>/scripts/my_ruby_script.rb besides .groovy and .js scripts.
Also, after this addon is installed, future plugins can as well make use of ruby scripts (via the "scripts" node, just like with .groovy scripts)
All this is possible because Freeplane was programmed with good design (applause to the devs :) ), using JSR223 that allows external scripting engines to be added, such as the Jruby interpreter that is capable of running ruby scripts with access to Java objects (Freeplane-java-objects!).
