I want to use autocomplete for jQuery in Eclipse. The Aptana Plugin is installed:
Aptana Web Development Tools
Version: 1.5.1.25495-787Y07jbcbrChz-Tq2k383275
Support for jQuery also:
Aptana Support for jQuery
Version: 1.3.2.00005
JavaScript/WTP is installed:
JavaScript Developer Tools
Version: 1.1.1.v200906091427-77-FGBCcNBC-BeMcEeOm
Build id: 20090616035105
But the autocomplete doesn't work. Does anyone have an idea of where the problem could be?
When you install additional AJAX library support the Code Assist for that library isn't turned on by default.
To turn on the Code Assist feature after you install additional AJAX Libraries:
Preferences > Aptana > Editors > JavaScript > Code Assist > Check jQuery
If you just installed the Aptana plugin and are trying to get this to work you'll have to make sure you're using the Aptana Perspective to utilize the AJAX library Code Assist feature:
Window > Open Perspective > Other... > Aptana
I installed the Aptana plugin to Eclipse PDT and the jQuery Code Assist worked fine once I realized that I was still using the PDT PHP Perspective instead of the Aptana Perspective.
When I switched to the Aptana Perspective it started working.
Sirokov pointed out that he was unable to get the Code Assist to work with PDT and Aptana Plugin unless he installed the Aptana Plugin first and then installed PDT second.
I actually Had a hard time finding out how to install Aptana Plugins , so I am adding this in hopes that if someone else is confused they find it helpful.
whether in Aptana itself or eclipse its the same.
Help >> Install Aptana Features . you will find all the plugins here
took me like 30 minutes to find it hopefully I can save that for someone else
