Do you know anyone using the product on Linux? The support seems to be really lacking.

Thank you very much!
It works in Aptana Studio, build: 1.2.0.017963, and I'm not using the pro version.
Best Regards

Check out the response to the word wrap issue report here:
http://support.aptana.com/asap/browse/STU-534?f...

He explains how to turn on wordwrap.

"the Aptana IDE only just recently added a word wrap feature".

I just downloaded the latest version, still RC, but there is no word wrap. Do you know how to turn on word wrap function in Aptana?

What about Eclipse?

Nice demo! I'm not familiar enough with apache innards to understand the
filter vs. interpreter concept, that is interesting that the two can work
together. I remember reading this in the jaxer discussions, but it didn't
really sink in that a developer wouldn't use jaxer as the sole middleware in
their app. Very cool

RE: the jaxer integration with php, etc.

Jaxer is actually set up as a filter (in apache at least), not an interpreter like PHP, so it plays very nice with these languages. In my first week at Aptana I tested this myself and was quite happy with the results... if you want to see a very simple example, check out http://jxrgallery.aptanacloud.com. The file uploading and display is done via jaxer, but the image thumbnail / reflection processing is done via php scripts. Simple, but it works!

The fact that they built it ontop of eclipse is great, especially with the
plugin architecture. I thought about putting in something about that, but
decided to lean more towards the more innovative aspects of the IDE - like
cloud integration, jaxer server, etc.

Not one mention of Eclipse?

Yeah, I agree - that's the biggest hurdle that Jaxer has in front of it.
How does it fit in with all the legacy code that most people have.

It really does take a brave soul to base an entire application on such a new
technology.

I like the Javascript stack of Jaxer but I want to see more of how I can integrate that with my existing large server side libraries in PHP and Java.
