AptanaInfluence
The Aptana IDE is a free, open-source, cross-platform, Javascript-focused development environment for building Ajax applications based on the Eclipse IDE. Since 2007-06-14 CSSDoc project is aware of the fact that Aptana ships with some kind of documentation support for CSS. A first quick look revealed that it is influenced by DocBlock / Javadoc as well:
- ScriptDoc is used for documentation of Javascript.
- Some folks want that to be extended on CSS as well (clone) (DocBlock Support in CSS) which would in fact then be quite like what CSSDoc is for.
- If so, this should then influence CSSDoc and vice versa.
Aptana Application Review
2007-07-09: I downloaded Aptana IDE (build 0.2.8.15637) and created a testcase to check it out:
- Documentation is organized in additional .sdoc files. These are referenced inside .js files with a docblock and the @namespace tag. And they share the same name (x.js & x.sdoc are a pair).
- DocBlock indentation and highlighting works well in the .sdoc file-editor.
- This does not work with .css files.
- I encountered Problems using the Project manager and using files from disk.
After my research and practical experience I can say that Aptana IDE does not currently support DocBlock or ScriptDoc styled comments for CSS.
