Using the Eclipse Marketplace on Aptana Studio 3 - eclipse

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.

Cannot install Mercurial on Eclipse Juno

Attempting to install Mercurial on Eclipse Java EE IDE Juno from
http://cbes.javaforge.com/update in the Install new software...
but,
"Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: codeBeamer Eclipse Studio (with Mylyn) 3.1.0.v201011161842 (org.codebeamer.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group 3.1.0.v201011161842) Missing requirement: codeBeamer Eclipse Studio (with Mylyn) 3.1.0.v201011161842 (org.codebeamer.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group 3.1.0.v201011161842) requires 'org.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group 3.3.0' but it could not be found
I tried on Windows 7_64 and ubuntu 12.04_64. I even installed mylyn using the latest stable releases from http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/releases/latest
Any Ideas?
Already browsed web and this site.
You could also try the update URL from the Google Code repository instead, which installs only MercurialEclipse.
+1 to installing from Google Code Repository.
Initially Eclipse wouldn't start because of problems with the older version of the plugin so to get past this simply removed the jar com.vectrace.MercurialEclipse_1.9.1.v201111302231.jar from the Eclipse plugins directory then uninstalled the existing plugin and re-installed from the link in smooth reggae's post.
All seems good so far.
The problem is, that the codeBeamer Eclipse Studio requires an older version of Mylyn (3.3.0), which isn't available for Juno.
But AFAIK you don't need the whole CBES, if you only need the Mercurial features. Try to select only MercurialEclipse, it should also be available in that update site.

Aptana Plugin Installation: Adding features

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".

Eclipse Marketplace not showing up (missing) on 3.7 Indigo

I installed the Eclipse Marketplace via http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/indigo/ and Help>Install New Software... and it's not showing up under the help menu as expected after a complete reboot and I can't seem to find anyone else who is having this problem?
What led me to installing the Eclipse Marketplace in the first place was my attempt to install Eclipse Color Themes (http://eclipse-color-theme.github.com/update/). Eclipse Color Themes did not appear where indicated in it's documentation either so I thought I would attempt installing through the marketplace but I think I may have a larger plug-in related issue however plug-ins like Aptana and other misc. custom plug-ins installed correctly.
I'm running Eclipse on Windows 7 64-bit if that's of any help as well.
I had same problem.
I add http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo repo and install MPC and Maven.
I tried #d_pilot's answer which didn't work but found the repo at http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/indigo/
You should be able to change the /mpc/(version)/ to get whatever you want from there, which is nice for all the other eclipse classic versions.

To add some Google search terms:
I had this issue when installing via Ubuntu apt-get package management and ransom bot's answer worked for me.

cannot install aptana

I am trying to install aptan in my eclips hilios. Its giving me a wired problem. I went here and installed it
http://docs.aptana.com/docs/index.php/Plugging_Aptana_into_an_existing_Eclipse_configuration
When I went to perspectives I dont see aptana there.
I tried to reinstall aptana and it said I couldnt as it is already installed.
I deleted the installation of eclipse and redid the steps and still no help.
I am not sure whats going on
Any help will be very much appreciated
If you are using Helios, I would recommend trying out the new Aptana Studio 3 beta. It's in good shape, especially for a 'beta'! I've been using it as my primary IDE with additional plugins such as CFEclipse, Java Development Tools, J2EE and the Groovy plugin and had zero issues for the last month+.
Additionally, the Studio 3 beta is built on Helios' architecture, so you should be able to integrate it without any (read: too many) headaches!

Setting up Eclipse for Java and PHP

I have already installed Eclipse for Java development. I'd also like to install Plugins for PHP, CSS/HTML and Javascript, but all the sites that I've checked only offer a 'All in one' package, so I could either download an all-in-one Java package or an all-in-one PHP package, but not both at the same time.
How do I set up my existing installation to also support PHP files?
I use PHPEclipse which can be installed as a regular Eclipse software update
The PDT can also be installed as an update.
For HTML/CSS etc, the WTP can be installed in a similar fashion.
If you already have Eclipse installed, follow the instructions at PDT Installation to install the PDT (PHP Development Tools). This will include the Web Tools Project (WTP), which brings editors and tools for HTML and CSS.
This issue made me nuts 2. First i downloaded the PDT eclipse, which would not take google plugins or apache ant. Then I downloaded the Eclipse SDK to use java ant GWT and could not load php onto it.
If you ask me, this program sucks. I like the idea, however the updates hardly ever work, and it does not support multiple coding languages like it says it does. Also the web site is shocking as it gives you 100 options to download.
Coulnt the have just made the one platform and then provided links to the plugins ???
Correct me if i am wrong guys, but trying to get PHP and Java working in eclipse is torture. Ive been stuck for 3 days now, installing and uinstalling.
One final rant, the download speeds of the eclipse servers are below 10kb, and take about half a day to install one update.
My prob is, I have to use it as the project i am working was archived with Eclipse.
Did you follow the steps presented on this installation page? There is a From update site section in which they describe how to install it from the Software Updates menu.
I had this problem recently.
I started with the J2EE Ganymede setup and added the PDT tools (via Update) afterwards.
Then I added Subclipse afterwards.
G.
(I wish they wouldn't change the eclipse pages all the time...)
Look for "runtime" on the downloads page for PDT (http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/downloads/)
Why do you want JDT and PDT in one installation? I usually set up different installations for different things. It just so easy, since you don't really need to install anything. I have two setups for PDT and at least 5 for JDT.
Install Aptana Studio plugin. In my experience it is much better then either PHPEclipse or PDT. However, YMMV.
