This page explains how to get started with Subversion to access the Aptana source code.

Introduction

Aptana uses a Subversion repository for source control. To access the Aptana Subversion repository, install one of the SVN plug-ins, such as Subclipse or Subversive into your Aptana or Eclipse configuration. Once you have installed one of the SVN plug-ins, you will be able to browse and download the Aptana source code.

Instructions

The instructions below describe how to install an SVN plug-in, such as Subclipse or Subversive, into your Aptana IDE or Eclipse configuration.

Installing Subclipse or Subversive into the standalone Aptana IDE

To install either Subclipse or Subversive into the standalone Aptana IDE:

1. From the Window menu, select Show View > Other... > Aptana Views > Plugins Manager to open the Plugins Manager View.
2. On the Plugins Manager View, select either Subclipse or Subversive.
3. Click the Install button to start the installation.
4. Follow the prompts to complete the installation and re-start Aptana.

Note: If you encounter problems trying to install either plug-in via the Plugins Manager, try the manual instructions below for Eclipse. These instructions should also work for the standalone Aptana IDE.

3. Follow the prompts to re-start Eclipse.

Browsing the source code
