Creating new Rails project with Aptana fails with "/<project name>/public does not exist"

Question

I am using Windows 7 and Ruby 1.8.7. I get the following error message when I start a new Rails project:

Problem Occured

'Replace project index file' has encountered a problem. Resource '/Foobar/public' does not exist. (where 'Foobar' is the name of my new project).

Any ideas?

Just found a workaround: Create the project but UNCHECK the part about generating a rails skeleton. Then open a console, navigate to the project's parent directory, and run rails <project name>. The skeleton will generate in the folder, and then you can refresh the project directory within Aptana/Eclipse.
