How to install Eclipse & Aptana Studio on Vista/Windows 7 64-bit?
Installing Eclipse on a 64-bit version of Windows
Only the Eclipse SDK comes in a 64-bit flavor for Windows. One solution is to install the Eclipse SDK, and manually install the plugins for Web, XML and Java development.
What I did is install the Eclipse IDE for Java Developer (32-bit), and copy the content of the Eclipse SDK (64-bit) over it.
Installing the Aptana Studio Plugin on a 64-bit version of Windows
In order to ensure the Aptana Studio plugin works on a 64-bit version of Eclipse, do the following 1):
- Make sure that a
JAVA_HOME
environment variable is set on your system.- To check or add a new environment variable, search for
environment
in theStart
menu search box, and selectEdit environment variables for your account
. - If it does not already exists, add a user variable called
JAVA_HOME
, pointing to JRE or JDK on your drive, e.g.C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16
orC:\Program Files\Java\jre6
- Make sure the location of the JRE (or JDK) bin directory is your path by adding
;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
to thePATH
user environment variable. Create a newPATH
variable if it does not already exists. - Download XulRunner for Windows x64.
- Create a
xulrunner
directory in your Eclipse installation directory (e.g.C:\eclipse
), extract the content of the XulRunner archive in this directory. - Add the following at the end the
eclipse.ini
file located in your Eclipse installation directory:
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=xulrunner
- Install the Aptana Plugin using the standard instructions.
