cannot install aptana - eclipse

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!

Is there a proper step by step guide to installing and using PhoneGap?

Is it just me or the documentation for PhoneGap installation is ridiculous? The steps are all over the place and no clear path to installing and using it. I found a couple of decent guides for use on MAC but nothing that is clear for Windows.
Got frustrated and uninstalled everything, eclipse, cordova, ant, android.
I want to just restart fresh with a clean install. Can anyone show me to a guide which has a step by step guide to windows. Or maybe you could guide me to exactly which are the stuff I need to install for phoneGap to work? For example is ant(apache) even needed? Not every guide mentions it.
I believe over all, the steps includes 2 parts. 1 is installing the various components such as eclipse and so on. 2nd is to interlink all these various components.
Not exaggerating but I've been at this for a week plus now and have looked around for a clear instruction and found nothing. Please help.
PS: If PhoneGap can be installed and linked with NetBeans, it would be great to know exactly how. Tnks.
You have only java, javafx in netbeans because you installed netbeans java edition.
Cordova is in the HTML5 package which is included in other editions like java EE edition or php edition.
In your netbeans version, you have to install the plugin:
Tools->Plugins-Available plugins, check HTML5 and click install.
Then you should be able to use the New project->HTML5->Cordova application.
You will still need cordova, android, ant... but the difference is that netbeans should setup everything for you.
Sorry I can't confirm as I have installed everything before netbeans.

Which eclipse version to install for developing in Android (Aug 2012)

This question is double, but no one asked it recently.
I want to use Eclipse for developing in Android and making webapps.
I used Indigo, but I see a lot of downloads on this page: http://eclipse.org/downloads/
Since my computer got stolen and I need to reïnstall everything, I thought, good time to ask.
Can anybody tell me which version is better to download and install?
And anybody any tips on the needed plugins?
Indigo is fine.
However, it might be in your best interest to download and install Juno. Juno's UI is slightly different than Indigo's, but it is the newest version of Eclipse (Juno is 4.x, whereas Indigo is 3.x).

Using the Eclipse Marketplace on Aptana Studio 3

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.

Eclipse editor not supporting java

I've installed eclipse on my new ubuntu 12.04 setup. I did the install through the software center. I went to create a Java project, but it looks like it doesn't have java development kit on it. I'm not sure why. I have never seen this after installing Eclipse. Any ideas why I wouldn't have any language support? It's basically just a bulky text editor at this point.
Default Eclipse in Ubuntu Software Center generally needs installation of extra packages, had the same problem many times. I strongly recommend downloading and installing from here.
You can download the java sdk and development tools right in eclipse which should fix your problem, I had the same problem before and that's how I solved it.

Getting Plugins to work with Eclipse Helios 3.6

I have been searching for a new IDE for a while. I finally decided to try Eclipse, although I am a little discontent with the memory usage, and I really like a lot of aspects about it. There are, as with learning any new IDE, some things that I haven't been able to figure out yet. One of the biggest ones is that it seems like no matter what plugin in I install it doesn't work, or doesn't appear to.
I downloaded Eclipse Galileo just to make sure that I could get plugins working there, since I know Helios is pretty new, and plugins worked in Galileo as expected. Is there something different that you have to do in Helios that I haven't discovered yet or am I missing something?
I have tried installing RSE, Subclipse, and Drupal for Eclipse (I am a Drupal developer). None of these work in Helios, but all work in Galileo.
Any help from Eclipse users would be greatly appreciated!
There's the new marketplace, so rather than using
Help -> Install New Software,
check out
Help -> Eclipse Marketplace.
I've had a similar issue with the m2eclipse plugin, but found installing it through the marketplace worked fine!
