Portable AptanaSubmitted by xanfantasy on March 21, 2007 - 10:38am
I have used NVU previously but don't like the layout of the buttons and tabs. Then I found Aptana and It is a much better Web IDE. It has many more options and features and it is Open Source. you can get more info and download it here http://aptana.com/ ( categories: )

In short, I was taking a look at it but I ran out of time. I might be taking another look soon.

I have just successfully added Aptana to my PortableApps.
This is how it worked for me with Windows XP:
1. Download Aptana's current ZIP (no installer).
2. Unzip the file to your PortableApps folder on your portable device (e.g. G:\PortableApps) and name the folder “AptanaPortable”
3. Now you need to copy the Java Runtime Enviroment (JRE) into the new AptanaPortable folder. If you already have JRE installed on your local computer, just copy it from there (e.g. C:\Programme\Java\jre1.5.0_11) and rename it to “jre” (Important!) on your portable. Otherwise download JRE, install it and follow the previously decribed procedure (I'm not sure if you can directly install it to its final location.)
4. Now, when you launch PortableApps, you should be able to start Aptana from the menu. Be prepared for quite a long loading period.
You're done!
Full portable?
Hey guys!
It seems I found the way to make it fully portable.
JRE installation is the same as sidisinsane described. Thank you, sidisinsane! ;) I've started to make it portable from your post.
But there are still several problems related to paths of config files.
So..
Say, Aptana is here [letter]:\PortableApps\Aptana
Copy all files from
c:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Aptana\Aptana Studio\configuration
into
[letter]:\PortableApps\Aptana\configuration
Edit
[letter]:\PortableApps\Aptana\configuration\config.ini
Remove
#osgi.instance.area.default=@user.home/My Documents/Aptana Studio
#osgi.configuration.area=@user.home/Application Data/Aptana/Aptana Studio/configuration
#osgi.user.area=@user.home/Application Data/Aptana/Aptana Studio/user
And add
osgi.instance.area.default=configuration
osgi.configuration.area=configuration
osgi.user.area=configuration/user
Open
[letter]:\PortableApps\Aptana\configuration\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs
And change this
RECENT_WORKSPACES=[letter]\:\\PortableApps\\Aptana\\workspace
on this
RECENT_WORKSPACES=workspace
After that it seems to be fully portable with no absolute paths at all.
My best!
