Aptana fail at starting up in Window Vista
I am the one that try to develop Rails in Window, especially Vista, the most complained version in history.
Aptana is the best IDE I found at the moment. It’s free! and Eclipse-based style make me familiar with.
by the way, Aptana always fail in startup after using for few times. This is very annoying problem. I have to re-install but found it isn’t work.
But finally! I found this is because the Aptana’s bundled JRE that incompatible with Window Vista.
So if you found same problem with me, try this instruction. It works for me, so I hope this may help you happy with Aptana.
How to resurrect your Aptana in Window Vista
- Browse to your aptana folder (for me, c:/Aptana Studio/ ). Find AptanaStudio.ini. Open and then put your JRE6 folder location at the top of the file like the image below. then save it.
- Remove jre folder in your Aptana Studio folder. (for me, c:/Aptana Studio/jre )
- Try to start your Aptana again. It should work!
