MooTools 1.2.1 support in Aptana Studio

[AptanaLoriHC]

Hi gang

Last week I finally added support for MooTools 1.2.1 to Aptana Studio
-- apologies for the delay. To get the updated plugin, do the
following:

1. First, if you do not have it already, get Aptana Studio (http://
www.aptana.com/studio). It's free.
2. In Aptana Studio, open the Plugins Manager by choosing Window >
Show View > Other... > Aptana Standard Views > Plugins Manager.
3. In the Plugins Manager, select MooTools 1.2.1 and click the green +
icon at the top right of the panel to install.
4. In the Updates dialog box, expand the tree until you see the
available "Aptana Support for MooTools" plugins. Select Aptana Support
for MooTools 1.2.1.00001 and click Next.
5. In the Install dialog box, accept the terms of the license
agreement and then click Next.
6. In the Verification dialog box, click Install.
7. In the next Install dialog box, click Finish.
8. Aptana Studio will begin downloading the MooTools 1.2.1 plugin.
Click Yes when you're prompted to restart.

I've tested plugin installation with Aptana Studio 1.2 and 1.2.1; let
me know if you have any problems. If you're using an earlier version
of Studio, you may need to upgrade (again, it's free!) in order to
install the MooTools 1.2.1 plugin.

Feel free to respond to this thread if you have any problems, and I'll
try to help.

cheers,
Lori

Is this plugin supposed to work on Aptana installed as an Eclipse
plugin? I have followed the instructions but can't get Code Assist to
show MooTools code. Under Window/Preferences/Aptana/Editors/JavaScript/
Code Assist, I see no entry for MooTools and the only reference I see
to the plugin is in Help/Software Updates/Manage Configuration/"home/
user/.eclipse/org.eclipse.sdk.ie/updates/eclipse"/Aptana Support for
Mootools 1.2.1.00. I also see the plugin under the Manage tab of the
Plugin Manager View.

Am I missing some configuration or is this plugin not meant to do Code
Assist?

Thanks
Ruy

Yes, you'll get code assist for MooTools when you include the mootools
[-version][-core|more][-compressionMethod].js library file in any HTML
file, or you can add any of the library files to the Default profile
by dragging them from the Project view to the Default Profile folder
in the File References panel. There's no ScriptDoc or OpenAjax
metadata file available for MooTools, so that's why it's not available
as a global reference; instead, code assist is generated on the fly
from the .js file.

Does "code assist" mean that functions like "Slider", "Accordion", etc. are shown when I'm writing my code, but with "No documentation available" in the yellow box?

[AptanaLoriHC]

Yes. It's probably more accurate to say that you're getting code
completion. To provide *content* assist -- function definitions and
examples, required vs. optional arguments, etc. -- while typing, the
MooTools documentation needs to be converted to ScriptDoc or
(preferably) OAA metadata format. Unfortunately the documentation is
not available in a format that's conducive to conversion currently;
we're working with the MooTools team on that, and I have hope that
future updates will include content assist as well as code completion.

cheers,
Lori

Thanks, I was thinking that the only non-working copy of Aptana was mine :) This explains I'm as normal as the others (lol)
