As Laurent wrote, I need the DockBar/DockPane plugins. (And if possible, 
I need
the TreeList/List plugin.) In addition to them, we must test ripper(the 
ruby script parser).
Now, ripper is alpha version and it requires some more tests in order to 
adopt the FreeRIDE's ruby parser.
The third problem of Source Browser is the installation of ripper.Ripper 
needs
bison when it is compiled. On Linux and *BSD, we can use it(in many 
cases, those OSes
offers bison's package). But, On Windows, I don't know where we can get
bison's binary except the cygwin package. We can compile ripper by using
cygwin's bison and VC++?

If you are interested in ripper, You can get ripper from here.
http://www.loveruby.net/archive/ripper/ripper-0.0.5.tar.gz
(It may not be compiled with Ruby-1.7.2.)

Another problem is that now I have no time to spend on FreeRIDE.

I recommend Ruby Gettext 
Package(http://home2.highway.ne.jp/mutoh/tools/ruby/en/ruby-gettext.html).



By the way, I propose that my irb plugin is included in FreeRIDE.
I think it will be useful when we explore the FreeRIDE when executing it.
