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...

I just upgraded to Eclipse Kepler, the non-J2EE version. The HTML Editor is missing. I read elsewhere that I could install the "Web Page Editor", which I did, but the system now generates all kinds of errors when building my project. Apparently it can't find some JSF classes. I have no interest in using JSF.
The Web Page Editor install did include the HTML Editor, but it was so much trouble I had to uninstall. How do I get my old HTML Editor back?
Alternatively, you can just install the "HTML Editor" from the WST package (the same one provided in Java EE Edition) in Eclipse 4.x, just by looking for "HTML Editor" in the marketplace (but, indeed, i haven't been able to found it in the "install new software").
On my side i prefer to work on Eclipse "Java Edition" most of the time (just adding the few additionnal features i really need).
Go to Install New Softwares-> Select your version eclipse repo. eg Mars - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/mars -> Expand Web,XML, JAVA EE option -> Install Eclipse Web Developer Tools
I have used CodeMix for a while and it's a wonderful tool, it can easily install as a plugin and a wide tools will be available like HTML Validation, Emmet, CSS IntelliSense, Snippets, take a look in this site https://www.genuitec.com/sox/tech/html5-with-codemix/
I had a similar issue once, and I tried a HTML editor addon for eclipse, but haven't found one that's any better than the one that comes with the Java EE edition of eclipse.
I suggest you download the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers.
You may want to install Eclipse Web Developer Tools
Bet you after edit HTML you will have to edit CSS and JavaScrip too
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 just started learning struts 2. I have purchased the book named Struts 2 in action. But I want to use an IDE for developing Struts 2 applications. I basically use netbeans.
Please tell me how can i develop applications using netbeans. Also, it would be great if somebody can point out a few tutorials on the same.
regards
P.S. I haven't used eclipse. Is it advisable to switch to it for struts 2, (if it is better than netbeans in this case)?
If you are already using NetBeans IDE then it is a good idea to find a plugin for Struts2 in NetBeans IDE as it will provide you tools for Struts2 maintaining the comfort you are already having with NetBeans IDE.
For NetBeans IDE 6.9 and above the
plugin for Struts2 is available in
the NetBeans Plugin Portal. Please
visit the link
http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=23467
and download the plugin. This plugin will get downloaded as a ZIP file. After unzipping it you will find three NBM files.
Using the Tools Menu > Plugin option open the Plugins dialog box and using the Downloaded plugin. Select those NBM files and install all of them.
Now when you start a new Java Web > Web Application project, you will get option to choose web framework with Struts2 as one option, choose Struts2

I don't use Netbeans, but this IDE seems to handle natively only Struts 1.x, but you can use plugins for the Struts 2.x framework.
Regarding the tutorials, Google can help you to find some of them, like this one. The NetBeans wiki seems also helpful..
i am planning to start develop a website that uses webservices , i am thinking using zend framework.
as i am pretty much new for zend , i don't know much about its tools and configuration
i have eclipse installed in my computer , now is there something like zend plug in that i can download and install in eclipse.
As i have download the Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT) but its a separate eclipse studio only , but i want to use it from my already installed eclipse.
There is a branded version of Eclipse called Zend Studio but it is pretty expensive.
Check out Netbeans.
I have been using PHPeclipse and it has worked great.
This is their tutorial how to install :
http://www.phpeclipse.com/wiki/Installation
PDT is not studio only, you can use it with any version of Eclipse. If you already have an Eclipse installation you'll want to add their update site and then install the plugin that way. See the installation instructions here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDT/Installation for whichever Eclipse version you have.
Zend Studio is based on PDT, and I believe it has better ZF integration but it is a commercial product.
