Is it possible to integrate eclim with aptana?

I use vim as the main editor for python / HTML / JS / CSS and have heard of Eclim as a means of integrating code completion and other "advanced" IDE methods in vim.

I tried using ctags and other code completion methods, but they really don't cut it, as far as I could tell.

So I thought about using Eclim, but would prefer to use it with Aptana-Studio, since it pretty much contains everything I need (unlike Eclipse, which will require me to install several plugins to get it work the way I do I want this).

Is there a way to integrate Eclim directly with Aptana? Do I prefer to use Aptana as an Eclipse plugin?

You just need to install Eclim as a plugin in standalone Aptana Studio. Download the Eclim 1.6.3 installer from http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclim/files/eclim/1.6.3/ (1.7.x will not work because the standalone version of Aptana Studio is 3.6). Point the installer to Aptana Studio and it will do the rest.

Another option is to download Eclipse Indigo (3.7) and install both Aptana Studio and Eclim as plugins (the same steps for Eclim as above).
