Relationship with Aptana Studio

[John Leach]

On Dion Almaer's blog article
http://ajaxian.com/archives/frizone-javascript-dev-test-and-deployment-environment
there was a comment from khakman2 asking:
"Very interesting. How could this work with say an environment like
Aptana Studio or Aptana Jaxer?"

The answer is the same of other development environments, such as
Eclipse, Netbeans, or Intellij IDEA, that work as JavaScript IDEs:

Frizione is a framework, not an Integrated Development Environment. It
uses a very simple web application to extend the functionality with
browser based JavaScript environments (via Ajax) which allows a
developer to run JSLint on her code, or compress a JavaScript file, or
join (concatenate) several JavaScript files together to produce a
tailor made JavaScript library - all things that Aptana Studio can
probably do as well.
Where Frizione differs is in running unit tests, within the browser,
or even harsher environments, such as a Gears WorkerPool, and which
then stores the unit test results (in JSON format) to disk. It can
also help create complex fixture data files, for populating databases,
for example.

Some of the functionality of Frizione can be used for server side
JavaScript (such as Aptana Jaxer), but this is not really its forte.

Browser based unit testing can also be controlled using Aptana
Studio's integration with Firefox/Firebug, (a feature of Aptana Studio
which I very much appreciate BTW).

Hope that helps.
