Does Aptana support ES6?

Aptana Studio gives me syntax errors for uses of function* and yield in JavaScript code.

These are ES6 features. Is it possible to configure Aptana to accept them?

What is Aptana Studio used for?

Aptana Studio is an open-source integrated development environment (IDE) for building web applications. Based on Eclipse, it supports JavaScript, HTML, DOM and CSS with code-completion, outlining, JavaScript debugging, error and warning notifications and integrated documentation.

Is Aptana Studio free?

Aptana Studio 2 uses a "dual licensing" model. Under this model, users may choose to use Aptana Studio under the free software/open source GNU General Public License (commonly known as the "GPL") with the Aptana-GPL Exception, or under the Aptana Public License (known as the "APL").

No, Aptana does not support ES6 (nor JSX) and there are no plugins available to support it.

Aptana is compatible with all Eclipse plugins. The plugin "Enide Studio 2015" is tagged with ES6, which is disingenuous because as far as I can tell the only thing it enables a subset of the const keyword. Nothing else.

To install the plugin (which won't help you), visit the plugin page, then drag the "install" button into your Aptana editor.
