I have just successfully added Aptana to my PortableApps. This is how it worked for me with Windows XP: 1. Unzip the file to your PortableApps folder on your portable device (e.g. G: PortableApps) and name the folder “AptanaPortable” 3. Now you need to copy the Java Runtime Enviroment (JRE) into the new AptanaPortable folder.
If you already have JRE installed on your local computer, just copy it from there (e.g. C: Programme Java jre1.5.011) and rename it to “jre” (Important!) on your portable. Otherwise, install it and follow the previously decribed procedure (I'm not sure if you can directly install it to its final location.) 4.
Now, when you launch PortableApps, you should be able to start Aptana from the menu. Be prepared for quite a long loading period. It seems I found the way to make it fully portable. JRE installation is the same as sidisinsane described. Thank you, sidisinsane! I've started to make it portable from your post.

But there are still several problems related to paths of config files. 'Firefox source code is free and open source software, and is tri-licensed under the Mozilla Public License (MPL), GNU General Public License (GPL), and the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).17 These licenses permit anyone to view, modify, and/or redistribute the source code, and several publicly released applications have been built on it; for example, Netscape, Flock, Miro, Iceweasel, and Songbird make use of code from Firefox'. Otherwise, I haven't modified any source code, it's all configuration. The Firefox I was referring to is the Eclipse plugin (XULRUNNER, I believe). The application is all Aptana; I simply ran the source code and took.jar files from Aptana/Eclipse default repositories. Although the JRE is probably still an issue, I think this is a better description of the file: Contents: Aptana (Source code and default Aptana/Eclipse plugins: PHP dev environment, subversion, Firefox XULRUNNER) JRE Installation: Unzip to = yourportableappspath/PortableApps Does the above make any difference?
Time for action – downloading and installing Aptana Studio on Windows. Time for action. Chapter 3, Working with Workspaces and Projects, is all about creating and configuring. Currently need, but you find a.jar or a.zip file of the plugin. If the Subversion server was reached and the SVN Repository is password.
