Aptana is a powerful new web IDE with a Linux support. It can run stand alone or be embedded in Eclipse. It would be great to see this in Portage in either form sometime soon. http://www.aptana.com/
Would like to see this myself. At the moment the Linux distribution requires its own JRE to be bundled, and depends on Firefox (although it can use Mozilla GTK2+XFT as well).
there's a post covers most of installation issues which may occur under linux. http://www.aptana.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=134 If firefox doesnt help out of these issues,try mozilla steada.
I would also like to see a Aptana IDE ebuild. In the mean time I will try it with having seamonkey installed :-| Hopefully Firefox will be enough to have Aptana in the future.
FWIW, I'm not sure how necessary an ebuild is given the current stand on eclipse modules. I installed 'eclipse-sdk' and used the upgrade feature to pull in Aptana. Works great, and we don't have to wait for the ebuild maintainer to version bump.

Also Aptana adds all configuration in the current directory - which more often than else isn't the home dir. I would like a simple aptana-bin ebuild that took care of the Gentoo specifics to installing either the bin dist or preferably by the the Aptana installtion dist.I'd love it if it took the firefox USE-tag, but as long as it works I won't mind having the Mozilla dist (SeaMonkey didn't work either BTW) OR tell me how you get the Aptana installed and setup. If so maybe you'd better email me directly since this probably isn't the right forum for support or guidance. Hope that wasn't too much to ask ;-)
Created attachment 110183 [details] an own custom start script for Aptana to go in /usr/local/bin Well, I got an idea which I tried on the Aptana pure non-installer bin distro. I put the contents of the zip file into /usr/local/lib/aptana and wrote the attached script with some ideas from http://www.aptana.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=134 (Gentoo Forums isn't always where to look ;-) Happy Days, it's running! :-D Of course, not everything is 100%. The Workbench still seems to be created in the current dir. Also I haven't really gotten to work in the enviroment, but updating and upgrading works perfect so far at least.

Doesn't go anywhere. If you have an ebuild, attach it and reopen. WONTFIX.
Please consider reopening. There's a working ebuild in the psix overlay. PV needs update to 3.6
I'll even volunteer to be the maintainer...

Bump
(In reply to Carter Young from comment #11) > (In reply to Carter Young from comment #10) > > I'll even volunteer to be the maintainer... > > What do I need to do to become the maintainer? Start working on an ebuild for this. Any of us in proxy-maint@ or on #gentoo-dev-help will be happy to guide you along if you get stuck somewhere. Apparently we have a wiki article to help get you started: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Basic_guide_to_write_Gentoo_Ebuilds
*** Bug 273353 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
aptana is available in the overlays https://gpo.zugaina.org/dev-util/aptana I suggest to test these and to help improving these ebuilds. There are other ebuilds in the duplicates of this ticket.
