Application Files

OS X 1.4 and later

From the Apple human interface guidelines: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFileSystem/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000185i

• Application Files: /Applications/Aptana IDE Beta (we do not use a sub-folder as this should eventually be a bundle)
• User Data: ~/Documents/Aptana IDE Beta (workspace)
• Application Data: ~/Library/Application Support/Aptana/Aptana IDE Beta

That works out to:

• osgi.instance.area.default=@user.home/Documents/Aptana IDE Beta
• osgi.configuration.area=@user.home/Library/Application Support/Aptana/Aptana IDE Beta/configuration
• osgi.user.area=@user.home/Library/Application Support/Aptana/Aptana IDE Beta/user

Testing

Install

1. Aptana is installed to /Applications/Aptana IDE Beta (or equivalent)
2. Shortcuts created (test for both admin and non-privileged user)
   1. Desktop
      1. None
   2. Dock
      1. None
3. File associations created
   1. None
4. On first run, Aptana will prompt for a workspace location.
   1. ~/Documents/Aptana IDE Beta
5. Attempt to install RadRails via the update manager. Ensure that this completes successfully.

Uninstall

1. There is no uninstaller. Just drag the /Applications/Aptana IDE Beta folder into the trash
