Aptana Studio is an open source web development environment suited for the latest browser technology, meaning HTML5, JavaScript, CSS3, PHP, Ruby, Rails and Python. One core feature is providing information on the level of support for each element you select in all major internet browsers. Setup your development environment exactly the way you want it by extending the core capabilities through scripting of custom commands. Studio ships with hundreds of commands but always presents them in context based on the type of file you are editing.

Building Aptana Studio Main Source Code • Download the Eclipse RCP development version: • Check out each of the repos onto your local machine. You may either use the built-in Git support, or check out using Git on the command line and 'Import Existing Projects' • Once all projects are imported, you will need to close several depending on the version of Eclipse you have installed. If you are using Eclipse 3.7 (recommended), close the following: • com.aptana.portal.ui.eclipse35 Python Errors • There will be lots of build errors.

Find org.python.pydev.core/tests/org.python.pydev.core/TestDependent.OS.template. You should create a copy of that file in that same dir named TestDependent.java and set the needed things according to your installation. If that still fails to resolve the errors, you can close the com.python and org.python project for now. FTP Errors If you do not wish to close the FTP projects, you can get a trial license for FTP: • Download from here: • Unzip the package, and drop /lib/*.jar into com.aptana.ide.libraries.subscription Launching • Inside Studio RCP there is a aptana.product file.

• Click on the link that says 'Launch an Eclipse Application' Building Installers Aptana Studio uses NSIS to build the Windows installer. Below are instructions to build that installer manually. • View com.aptana.win.installer inside Eclipse.

• Create a 'staging' folder at the root of that project. • Copy the Windows.zip version /staging. You could get a.zip file either by building the studio3-rcp project, or by downloading a version from preview.appcelerator.com. You may have to rename it to fix what it expects (you'll be informed of this the first time you attempt to build) • Right-click on the build.xml file and 'Run As > Ant Build.'

You want to run task 'unpack-archives' at least once. Thereafter, you can just run 'main' over and over again.

Portable Aptana 2 with original php tools Hey web developers, what if I told you I’ve got a portable program that runs off a USB drive that lets you Edit HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP all with code assist, and debugging, with a built in local server and FTP and that’s just for starters, are you excited yet. For those of you that don’t know (with the PHP 1.1 plug-in) is one of the best web development IDE’s there are, and the best thing of all is.It’s FREE, that’s right people FREE. I managed to make a portable version of Aptana Studio 2 with the original PHP 1.1 plug-in, but don’t get to excited, I haven’t fully tested it yet but it looks promising. My Knowledge of this stuff is pretty basic, I don’t know if it puts stuff in the registry, so for you purists out there it’s probably not fully portable, but what I do know is that it runs off my flash drive, saves the project workspace on the flash drive and runs PHP files in the internal browser without the need for a virtual server (xammp,wamp). I’ll run through the steps; 1. Get the Aptana Studio 2 Zip file from, there are zip files for mac, linux and for Studio 3 too, so make sure you download the right one. Make a folder called Aptana Portable and unzip to here.
