Aptana 3.6 Preview Problem On Mac
I installed Aptana Studio on my Yosemite Mac and tried to use Preview feature and it just spins and then in activity monitor it shows Aptana Studio in red and the message not responding.
When I turn on the error logging I get this message.
I checked my Java and it appears to be correct

That looks like internal errors. I would reinstall Eclipse
ASKER
I installed the standalone version.

Are you saying reinstall that one or use the other option?

Try reinstalling that first
ASKER
I reinstalled it and still have the problem.
What you might try is to uninstall it again, then install Eclipse and then whatever sits on eclipse later
ASKER
I can't tell which Eclipse when I download the installer it says it won't work with my OS X. When I try Eclipse Mars it just takes me back to the same page with the installer.
So I am not clear how to go from here.

The bit that starts "I installed Java JRE from Oracle: http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u25-b17/jre-8u25-macosx-x64.dmg" looks promising
Make sure you've got a 64 bit JDK

It appears, that doing it that way it is using a legacy java 6. I say appears because the oracle link doesn't work. However, running an old form of Java won't work because I have other apps that need a more current java.
What versions of Java have you got installed? Can you invoke the most recent?
ASKER
I have java 8 installed. However, I set up another partition with java 6 installed. I went to eclipse site and downloaded their installer
https://gyazo.com/65ae668379eb2cf3036f3e753dc224bd
and it says that version won't work.
https://gyazo.com/1d669268b0448fa4fbac6eeb701ed2c2
I then tried to load eclipse for php and got the same message
Any other suggestions?

Nope - i didn't suggest doing that ;)
You need to go into Terminal and set (export) JAVA_HOME to Java 8 JDK install dir and then start the eclipse executable

OK, thanks for the reminder. I have untarred it in a temp directory. Running terminal I get this error

Firstly, please post the full path containing javac in the Java 8 version
ASKER
I think you are saying with javac the compiler. But I can't say for sure because I don't know what exactly to look for
I found something about java here /System/Library/Frameworks
can you tell me what a file ending would be for a compiler so I can look that way?

There's no ending (extension) on an executable file in Unix (usually). You will find it with the following
I'm afraid you might have to adjust that for Apple's own implementation, but try it as is first
Of course, you might find that no JDK (hence no javac) is installed, and, actually, none is strictly necessary to use Eclipse, but i'd recommend you to get one if that's the case.

I loaded this jdk https://gyazo.com/a6f23d4062bf8a68928173dceda44986
I installed it and no errors are showing but the preview button is grayed out now. So how should I proceed?

A JDK from some kind of 3rd party site - that looks pretty dogdy

I got it from Oracle at this page

Then we are back to my original problem
I installed Aptana Studio on my Yosemite Mac and tried to use Preview feature

OK, thanks for the reminder. I have untarred it in a temp directory. Running terminal I get this error
That can't be the case (unless you deleted it) as javac in a path with Java 8 in it would have been found
If you're saying you've now installed with the .dmg, that too should be detected with the find command
ASKER
I installed the jdk to my existing Aptana installation. I opened it up and had a page I wanted to preview and the preview button is grayed out. The page is ending in .php but does have html code in it.
Can you now find javac (Java 8) with the find command?
ASKER
I am not sure. Here is what it shows
find / -type f -name javac

Yes. Here it is:

I put those commands in and I get the same issue with a .php file. Which is, the preview button is grayed out.

eclipseDoes the above start Eclipse properly? (The Eclipse bin directory will need to be in PATH)
ASKER
I didn't have Eclipse installed. Remember I couldn't get the installer to ever work. Now it worked and I installed Eclipse Mars.1 for php developers. I then followed the directions to get Aptana installed through Eclipse.
However, now the preview button isn't even showing.
So it seems Eclipse is loading properly but don't know what to do about no preview option.

I can't help with Aptana specifics i'm afraid

You got me past the error in fine form and I could never have figured out those steps without your help.
