How to write plugins for Aptana Studio 3 - eclipse

I would like to know how to write a plugin for Aptana Studio 3. To be more precise i would like to know what language should be used and where should i find an SDK or API. Of course I would also like to know how to integrate my plugin with the actual application since there is no plugin manager ( from what i have read ).
If this is not possible I would like to know if there is already a real-time collaborative code editor plugin, because this is what i intend to implement.


Ok, I have found an answer.
To be able to write plugins for Aptana Studio 3 is actually writing plugins for Eclipse just like #Thomas Clayson said.
If you are searching for real-time collaborative plugin for Aptana, than Saros plugin is your tool. You can find the installation guide here: http://www.saros-project.org/installation.
Hope this helps.

Develop application on top of Visual Studio Code

I would like to know if Visual Studio Code provides an API that help you develop a desktop application on top of it platform. The main idea is to do like in Eclipe RCP or IntelliJ Plateform.
I want to use the plugin system available in VS Code instead of developing my own plugin system.
Any help, any link or any information will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

There are at least two ongoing projects that you can take inspiration from in this field:
https://theia-ide.org/ by Eclipse, which is an extensible platform to develop multi-language Cloud & Desktop IDEs. In the screenshots, you'll clearly distinguish the part coming from VSCode (like the Activity Bar) and custom ones, like the flexible layout system.
https://v2.onivim.io/ based on Vim but that should also leverage the VSCode plugins ecosystem according to the roadmap.

How to develop something as a group in Eclipse

My friend and I were searching for already built-in features in Eclipse or plugins that allow you to develop code in a group, or to be more specific, in a pair.
I found only a single plugin that provides such features, however it is quite hard to install.
Are there any simple solutions for Eclipse, or should I use a different editor?

You could use Git/GitHub or a similar form of version control. I am pretty sure Eclipse has built in support for Git.

Creating a language extension for Eclipse?

Is it possible to create an extension or plugin for Eclipse that gives support to a specific language? Where i can find information about that? Also, can i repackage Eclipse, along with that plugin, and distribute the new package, just like PDT, for example?

Have a look at this page:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/The_Official_Eclipse_FAQs
There is a section "Implementing Support for Your Own Language" at the bottom of that page.

You should definitely have a look at Xtext which allows you quite easily to get first grade ide support for your own langage.
http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/

It's possible. In fact support for specific languages is implemented as plug-ins. See eclipse platform plug-in developers guide and then search for details. Or look for some book like eclipse plugins.
You can repackage and distribute new package. In fact eclipse license gives you more freedom in this than for example GPL.

Create awt and lcdui custom component visual designer plugin for netbeans/eclipse

I'm trying to create an awt and an lcdui custom component visual designer plugin for Eclipse or NetBeans. Drag and drop functionality should be supported.
I have already found this http://wiki.netbeans.org/JavaMEComponent_VDComponentProject but I get some errors on the way and cannot complete the whole process described.
Any other links for Netbeans case?
I haven't discovered anything concerning Eclipse. Any links please?

Google donated WindowBuilder pro to Eclipse, and it was available in the Indigo release (June 2010). See http://eclipse.org/windowbuilder/ and WindowBuilder Pro>Quick Start.
WindowBuilder comes with a set of toolkits already code that can be installed (Swing, SWT, eRCP, GWT). They are pluggable, so depending on your usecase you might be able to extend one of the existing toolkits or write your own (there must be docs for that somewhere :-)

A plugin that makes eclipse usable documentation editor

I'm looking for a plugin that will make Eclipse a decent documentation editor with outlining, images etc... Does anyone know about anything? I've tried NQDoc, which is quite good but doesn't support vim plugin.
Any leads?

I have no direct experience with this tools, but the Eclipse MarketPlace is a good place to list all available solutions.
For instance: all Documentations tools.
