MS-Ajax Client Javascript with the Aptana IDE ...

Aptana has a cool Eclipse-based IDE for writing AJAX-y websites. It is got built-in support, via plugins, for most of the major Javascript Libraries. At the core of ASP.NET is AJAX support is the Microsoft AJAX Library 3.5 (direct download), a collection of Javascript classes that you can use in any application, whether it uses ASP.NET or not. The library is licensed under the Ms-PL, the least restrictive Microsoft license. It is the "do what makes you happy" license.

Anyway, I wanted it integrated into Aptana is Studio, so I took the client libraries and bundled them into a JAR file as an Aptana (Eclipse) plugin. You just download this one JAR and save it in the AptanaPlugins folder and when you make a new Web Project, Microsoft Ajax 3.5 will appear in the list.



When you select (it is a checkbox, so you can add multiple libraries to one project) you will get the Javascript and "intellisense" for the libraries, as well as a Hello World Sample...



...as well as integrated with the online Ajax Documentation



I think that JS components like MS-Ajax should be easily accessible in other IDEs that aren Visual Studio, like Aptana.

The one big feature that I didn have time to do was full Intellisense (Aptana calls it "Code Assist") as it will require a custom ScriptDoc XML file to describe each method within the libraries. This means that you will not get the extra documentation tooltip, but I am working in it.
