Emmet (ex Zen Coding) - Aptana

Question

I tried in various ways to set the zen encoding for aptana.

First I went to the Zen Coding project project on google and found a weird zip code different from what is described in each step-by-step description. And after several hikes, all of them told me to look for the aptana plugin, on the gizubs zen coding githubs page. After a long search, I found it, the dev version. Then it is added as a default project and so on, but it just does not work, and it does not have a LIB folder, describe in many tutorials.

Then finally I tried to add the official Eclipse / Aptana plugin, weird. Since I did not know how to install, I just tried extracting aptana into the plugins folder. Then it appears in the menu scripts, but when I do ctrl + e, it just crashes (zen encoding). It throws an error without a description.

I am using Aptana studio standalone 2

Switch to:

Help → Installing New Software

In the "work with" field, enter this repo address: http://zen-coding.ru/eclipse/updates/ http://emmet.io/eclipse/updates/

Click "Add ...", enter a name and click "OK."

Zen coding should appear in the list of programs in the "no categorization" section. You can install it as if you installed any other plugin.

Hope this helps.

Tested and verified that it works with:

• Aptana 2.0.5
• Aptana 3
• Zend Studio 8 (under Windows 7 and Ubuntu)
• Zend Studio 9 (thanks @Patrioticcow for the info)
• Eclipse indigo

Failure with Zend Studio 7.2, but I don’t know if this is the rule or just my failure.
