Is it possible to merge the Aptana IDE with the Espruino Web IDE or is it really worth it?

Presumably if Aptana is based on Eclipse it's actually written in Java?

I'd say realistically merging isn't going to work (and if Espruino 'moved' IDE it'd have to be as multiplatform and easy to install as the Web IDE currently is). But there's nothing to say that you couldn't write a plugin that used the EspruinoTools package to contact Espruino from Aptana.

... or @Ollie made a very cool program that monitors a file for changes and uploads it to Espruino when it has changed. Presumably with that kind of thing you could do what's needed easily enough.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
