How to enable jQuery support in Aptana Studio 3

Question

How can I enable jQuery in Aptana Studio 3 (beta)?
I did not see the document for this version.
Does Aptana Studio 3 (beta) support jQuery?

Answer 1

In Studio 3, most of this kind of functionality still comes in, since Aptana is more suited to the TextMate package for many of its features, which I think is really cool.

However, there is already a jQuery package. The jQuery package, if it is not already installed, can be installed from Aptana in the "Commands" menu ("Commands"> "Bundle Development-> Install Bundle", and then select jQuery from the list) .

In this discussion of support, there is some information about jQuery-code help in Aptana: https://aptanastudio.tenderapp.com/discussions/problems/2006-studio-3-jquery-support-is-lacking

In particular, it mentions adding a jquery vs doc file ( http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.1-vsdoc.js ) to your project. This seems to be the key.

If you install the jQuery package and add the aforementioned JS file, you can get jQuery code hints in your Aptana editors. I just looked at this in one of my Rails projects and it works (I'm on the latest beta version of Studio 3 for Mac).

Answer 2

This is not true. Although this will give you jQuery snippets and some commands to actually add jQuery content support, all you need to add is a single file. Instead, follow these steps:

Answer 3

to have help with aptana 3, follow these instructions https://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/tis/JavaScript+Library+Support (i.e. Commands-> Bundle dev-> Install-> select jquery) and put your jquery.js library to your project as usual (drop it into the folder of your choice)

Answer 4

I just spent the last hour trying to get this to work.

Eclipse support for javascript is terrible. I tried VJET and aptana. Simple code including string.replace () will not appear.

For someone else to click this page, I would say the following: don't even bother. Eclipse is simply not a javascript IDE.
