Hardware Recommendations

Aptana Studio will run on most modern hardware, but for best performance, we recommend the following resources for each platform:

JRE

Using Aptana Studio requires you to have v1.5.0 or later of the Java JRE installed on your computer.

To determine which JVM you are using, check your log file (see Accessing your Aptana log), and look for the following entries:

java.version=[Version will be here]
java.vendor=[Vendor name will be here]

OS X Note

With Studio 1.1x and 1.2 on OS X You must use Java 5 even though Apple has released Java 6. The Eclipse Platform (on which Studio is built) uses the SWT Toolkit, and the toolkit requires a 32-bit version of Java. Apple has documented this conflict at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1856.

You can tell Studio to use Java 5/JDK 1.5 by changing AptanaStudio.ini:

Very Important: You must add the -vm argument as described above before the -vmargs argument which will already be present!

Launch Aptana Studio from the dock or Finder and you should be working properly.

If not, or if you need assistance, please open a ticket in ASAP.
