I've recently installed the Aptana Studio 3 (I believe 3.4.1) and wanted to start to use CreateJS. When I start coding, I don't see any code assist or autocomplete for the CreateJS libraries.
Is this something I have to manually add? If so, how?
Or does Aptana Studio 3 just not support this? (What IDE does?)
It doesn't look like Aptana supports Code Assist for the "Createjs" libraries. If you go to "Commands" > "Bundle Developement" > "Install Bundle" you will see a list of libraries which Aptana does support. As far as I know, Jquery is one of the Javascript based libraries which enjoy support in Aptana.

I'm currently trying out Aptana Studio 3 for PHP development (I'm pretty new to all these), and I've stumbled upon a problem. I've noticed Eclipse has a Marketplace that hosts a wide variety of plugins, and I'd like to install one that helps me for version control.
However, I can't find the Eclipse Marketplace dialog under Aptana. Is there anybody out there who's done this before (installing Eclipse Marketplace stuff in Aptana)?
Also, this is a little out-of-topic but I'd like to use Java.net as the place where I'll be storing my repository. To my knowledge, NetBeans has a built-in support for Java.net; is there anything similar for Eclipse/Aptana Studio?
EDIT: If it helps, I installed Aptana Studio as a standalone version, and not as a plugin on Eclipse.
Try Help / Install New Software, and click on the Available Software Sites link. You'll probably have the eclipse Helios release directory in the list, just check it to activate it. A lot of third-party packages have their own release sites, you can add them in the same dialog.
I have installed Eclipse Indigo (3.7.1), then I installed Aptana IDE from the update site, followed by Eclipse PDT from the update site as well. (In that order)
I now want to add the additional Aptana features, which are available in the Aptana Standalone installation as "Install New Software". So in the standalone mode, we would get that installation screen with options for jQuery support, ExtJS support, Dojo, Ruby and the works basically.
Since I have a plugin installation of Aptana in Eclipse 3.7.1, how do I access that Aptana feature installation screen? If not, how do I install all the Aptana specific features?
The "Install New Aptana Feature" menu is only available in Aptana Studio 2.0. If you have installed Studio 3 plugins, the menu won't be there. However, Studio 3 includes Ruby/PHP/Python support by default, and you could add additional JavaScript library support such as jQuery using the instruction here: https://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/tis/Using+JavaScript+Libraries.
Hope this helps.
I don't think that is at all relevant to the Aptana Studio 3.x plugin. Instead, you install jQuery support using the "Rubles" (aka "Bundles"). After installing the Aptana Studio 3.x plugin, go to the new "Commands" menu and find the "Bundle Development" sub-menu and follow it to "Install Bundle", i.e.
Commands > Bundle Development > Install Bundle
jQuery should be among the choices you are offered in the pop-up. Assuming you have Git installed, Aptana should open up a terminal view in Eclipse and run a Git clone of the bundle into your UserFolder\Aptana Bundles (Windows) or your ~/Documents/Aptana Bundles (Mac / Linux). You will then want to use the Javascript "Source Editor" in order to be able to use the extra features added by the bundle.
Hope that helps some of the others baffled by how this all works. I'm by no means "expert" in this yet, but I was similarly perplexed by the steps needed to take to get the Aptana Studio plugin to do very much "useful".
I am using Aptana 3 which is basically a modified version of eclipse, so i think this question is applicable to both
Before I commit code in I like to review my changes via the text compare. It allows me to double check things I have changed.
However although text has been highlighted for changes made it does not keep the php syntax highlights. Is there anyway I can keep the PHP or whatever syntax highlighting when viewing differences?
See screenshot.
This is something that a plugin author must implement, and, it seems that it's still not implemented for Aptana's PHP editor, so, the proper thing to have that would be reporting this as a bug to be fixed in a future Aptana Studio 3 version.
This is a feature of the Eclipse editor. Perhaps you can try opening the file in another editor. Right click on the file and go to open with and choose different PHP Editor.
I am not a PHP programmer but perhaps you can check these links to see if you can find and alternate plugin with the features you want.

First of all, Aptana is not "a modified version of Eclipse". Aptana is based on the Eclipse Platform. I am using the Aptana Studio 3 plugin for Eclipse (3.7.1; because of PyDev and features like "Local Filesystem"). ISTM that this is a problem with the Aptana PHP Editor, which the Eclipse PDT editor takes preference over in Eclipse (that might be due to the fact that I had installed the PDT plugin first).
You can try to work around this if you install PDT in Aptana Studio 3 (if necessary and possible), and define the PDT editor as default for PHP files (in Eclipse, and perhaps Aptana as well, it is under Window → Preferences → General → Editors → File Associations). You can also report this as an Aptana bug. Or use Eclipse with the Aptana Studio 3 plugin in the first place; IMHO, most Aptana editors, including the Aptana PHP editor, are not much of an improvement over the "built-in" Eclipse editors.
The issue has been repotorted on aptana bug tracker (by me) and apparently it is going to be fixed with 3.1
the bug tracking number is APSTUD-3922 for anyone who is interested
Does anyone know if it is possible to use/embed the Netbeans Visual Library into the a Eclipse Editor in order to develop plugins for Eclipse.
I was taking a look to the GEF Project from Eclipse and I think that Netbeans Visual Library is easier to use than GEF.
Thanks!
You don't want to do that. Anything UI related from Netbeans is going to be Swing-based. Eclipse is SWT-based. Mixing the too UI stacks is possible with SWT-AWT bridge, but there are numerous issues with the bridge. You are far better off learning GEF.
I use Aptana for 2 or 3 months now and i'm very happy with it.
But since i need to work with Joomla! and to write some modules, compenents, etc...
I'd have like to know if there is a joomla plugin for Aptana ?
I would just like to have autocompletion, autosuggest, links to methods and class of the Joomla API
Any ideas ?
Thanks
The solution to enable Joomla code assist in Aptana Studio is in this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HCqomfey34. This is for Aptana Studio 3.
After creating your project, go to Project > Properties > PHP Buildpath > External Directories > Add... and choose the Joomla framework folder (your_joomla_folder/libraries/joomla).
As far as i am aware, there isn't any.
But I think for what your looking for this will depend on actually how you set up your development environment. To start, you could use the aptana PHP plugin, then create a new 'Joomla' Project, pointing to your entire Joomla folder.
I use aptana but solely for javaScript. none-the-less if autocompletion and autosuggestion are what you are looking for with php, u will love phpEdit or phpDesigner, once you create a new project, and point to the source folder, you are ready to start working. Unlike aptana and eclipse, (though you could) you won't need to add specific code libraries to the project!!
Codelobster PHP Edition is FREE but the Joomla plug-in is NOT you can download the IDE with a 30day trial of the plug-in...
