Running redcar 0.8.1 on Windows 7 x64

I am trying to get redcar to run on a windows 7 x64 box but I am getting the following error:

The error seems to indicate a problem with SWT being the 32-bit version. Since eclipse based application run fine on my machine I guess there is something I am missing here.

Steps I used to install redcar:

• download and install jruby (used the 64-bit executable)
• run jruby -S gem install redcar to install the redcar gem
• run redcar install

I also tried to install from source but with the same result.

Redcar doesn't support Win64 yet. Not for any particular reason, we're just getting to it.

If you want to make it work, copy the 64 bit swt jar on top of the win32.jar in ~/.redcar/jars

If that doesn't do the job, get in touch.

Not being cool enough to have Windows 7 I'm afraid I cannot really help you, but I think your best bet would be to ask the guys/girls developing Redcar directly. Feel free to send an email to the Redcar-editor group (redcar-editor@googlegroups.com).
