Is there any Expressionengine code highlighter plugin for Aptana? I've read that most of Eclipse plugins are compatible with it, so theres might be an Eclipse plugin which works with it...
There are ExpressionEngine "bundles" for many popular Mac editors — including Coda, Espresso and Textmate — often referred to colloquially as the "ExpressionEngine Developer's Toolkit".
There's also been a lot of demand for an ExpressionEngine Language Module and Clippings Set for BBEdit as well.
However, I'm not aware of anyone who has built an ExpressionEngine code highlighter for Aptana.

I am new to both IntelliJ and the Play framework. I noticed that after installing IntelliJ and importing my first Play application, syntax highlighting is not working properly for both *.scala.html files and the routes files. I was able to modify the settings for the *.scala.html files to have them recognized as Scala files, but this isn't actually correct because the scala templating system is not pure Scala.
Here's a screenshot, in case it helps:
In the official Play video tutorials there seems to be a special syntax highlighting setting for these template files, but I don't know how to add this to IntelliJ. Here's a screenshot from this tutorial and how I would like the syntax highlighting to look:
Also, I couldn't find any solution for the routes file. Any help would be most appreciated!"
P.S. I enabled the Vim emulator during installation of IntelliJ. I don't know if this had any effect on the syntax highlighting defaults...
Playframework full support in only available in IntelliJ ultimate edition a commercial one.
Community edition (free version) that you probably are using doesn't have any support for playframework it only supports Scala (language).
Routes and *.scala.html files are part of the framework not the language.
You may like to purchase IntelliJ ultimate edition or would like to go for Scala IDE (based on eclipse) which is an open source IDE for java and scala, it seems to have full support for play 2.x.
For *scala.html syntax highlighting
Preferences > Plugins > Install Jetbrains plugin...
Then install the Scala plugin
Restart IntelliJ and syntax highlighting should work.
For routing file highlighting
Preferences > Editor > File Types
Under the registered patterns for HTML Routing Support For Play 2 Framework if *.routes isn't already there, add it. Or add however you plan on naming your routes files.
I'm choosing an IDE for web development and I would like to know what the differences between WebStorm and PHPStorm are.
I couldn't find any major points on JetBrains' website and even Google didn't help that much.
All I know now is that PHPStorm doesn't support JS like WebStorm, but is able to due to plugins. Is this the only difference?

You should train your search-fu twice as harder.
FROM: http://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/
NOTE: PhpStorm includes all the functionality of WebStorm (HTML/CSS Editor, JavaScript Editor) and adds full-fledged support for PHP and Databases/SQL.
Their forum also has quite few answers for such question.
Basically: PhpStorm = WebStorm + PHP + Database support
WebStorm comes with certain (mainly) JavaScript oriented plugins bundled by default while they need to be installed manually in PhpStorm (if necessary).
At the same time: plugins that require PHP support would not be able to install in WebStorm (for obvious reasons).
P.S.
Since WebStorm has different release cycle than PhpStorm, it can have new JS/CSS/HTML oriented features faster than PhpStorm (it's all about platform builds used).
For example: latest stable PhpStorm is v7.1.4 while WebStorm is already on v8.x. But, PhpStorm v8 will be released in approximately 1 month (accordingly to their road map), which means that stable version of PhpStorm will include some of the features that will only be available in WebStorm v9 (quite few months from now, lets say 2-3-5) -- if using/comparing stable versions ONLY.
UPDATE (2016-12-13):
Since 2016.1 version PhpStorm and WebStorm use the same version/build numbers .. so there is no longer difference between the same versions: functionality present in WebStorm 2016.3 is the same as in PhpStorm 2016.3 (if the same plugins are installed, of course).
Everything that I know atm. is that PHPStorm doesn't support JS part like Webstorm
That's not correct (your wording). Missing "extra" technology in PhpStorm (for example: node, angularjs) does not mean that basic JavaScript support has missing functionality. Any "extras" can be easily installed (or deactivated, if not required).
UPDATE (2016-12-13):
Here is the list of plugins that are bundled with WebStorm 2016.3 but require manual installation in PhpStorm 2016.3 (if you need them, of course):
Cucumber.js
Dart
EditorConfig
EJS
Handelbars/Mustache
Java Server Pages (JSP) Integration
Karma
LiveEdit
Meteor
PhoneGap/Cordova Plugin
Polymer & Web Components
Pug (ex-Jade)
Spy-js
Stylus support
Yeoman
Essentially, PHPStorm = WebStorm + PHP, SQL and more.
BUT (and this is a very important "but") because it is capable of parsing so much more, it quite often fails to parse Node.js dependencies, as they (probably) conflict with some other syntax it is capable of parsing.
The most notable example of that would be Mongoose model definition, where WebStorm easily recognizes mongoose.model method, whereas PHPStorm marks it as unresolved as soon as you connect Node.js plugin.
Surprisingly, it manages to resolve the method if you turn the plugin off, but leave the core modules connected, but then it cannot be used for debugging. And this happens to quite a few methods out there.
All this goes for PHPStorm 8.0.1, maybe in later releases this annoying bug would be fixed.
There is actually a comparison of the two in the official WebStorm FAQ. However, the version history of that page shows it was last updated December 13, so I'm not sure if it's maintained.
This is an extract from the FAQs for reference:
What is WebStorm & PhpStorm?
WebStorm & PhpStorm are IDEs (Integrated Development Environment)
built on top of JetBrains IntelliJ platform and narrowed for web
development.
Which IDE do I need?
PhpStorm is designed to cover all needs of PHP developer including
full JavaScript, CSS and HTML support. WebStorm is for hardcore
JavaScript developers. It includes features PHP developer normally
doesn’t need like Node.JS or JSUnit. However corresponding plugins can
be installed into PhpStorm for free.
How often new vesions (sic) are going to be released?
Preliminarily, WebStorm and PhpStorm major updates will be available
twice in a year. Minor (bugfix) updates are issued periodically as
required.
snip
IntelliJ IDEA vs WebStorm features
IntelliJ IDEA remains JetBrains' flagship product and IntelliJ IDEA
provides full JavaScript support along with all other features of
WebStorm via bundled or downloadable plugins. The only thing missing
is the simplified project setup.
PhpStorm supports all the features of WebStorm but some are not bundled so you might need to install the corresponding plugin for some framework via Settings > Plugins > Install JetBrains Plugin.
Official comment - jetbrains.com
I use IntelliJ Idea, PHPStorm, and WebStorm. I thought WebStorm would be sufficient for PHP coding, but in reality it's great for editing but doesn't feel like it real-time-error-checks PHP as well as PHPStorm. This is just an observation, coming from a regular user of a JetBrains products.
If you're a student try taking advantage of the free license while attending school; it gives you a chance to explore different JetBrains IDE... Did I mention CLion? =]
In my own experience, even though theoretically many JetBrains products share the same functionalities, the new features that get introduced in some apps don't get immediately introduced in the others. In particular, IntelliJ IDEA has a new version once per year, while WebStorm and PHPStorm get 2 to 3 per year I think. Keep that in mind when choosing an IDE. :)
I want to develop a web app in EXTJS 4.0, but I'm not sure about which IDE to use. I'm looking for open source IDE with its pros and cons.
There is no specific IDE for ExtJS. Since it is a javascript framework you can use text editors with additional plugins to use features like syntax highlighting, code formatting etc. webstorm seems to be more promissing one in javascript world but it is not a free tool. Here are some of the popular tools people use to write javascript code.
Komodo(Text editor is free but IDE is paid one)
Vim
Sublimetext
Notepad++
Eclipse
Spket(Text editor is free but IDE is paid one) ... many more.
Personally I would prefer eclipse with spket eclipse plugin through which you can use formatting/validation/code completion features. (Only default features are available in free one, to customize these features one should move to spket paid version). My second choice would be notepad++ with additional plugins.
I recently switched from eclipse and netbeans to intellij, but I have also liferay stuff to do and intelliJ seems to lack a decent liferay integration.
Does someone know how to use intelliJ for that, with as much of intelliJs comfort as possible :-/
As the themes are no simple java project the import stuff doesn't seem to recognize it properly...
You could look into the maven integration for Liferay (depending on the version of Liferay you're using - the more recent the version, the better the maven integration) and just import a pure maven project. The layout of this differs a bit from the usual ant-based SDK.
But of course you can also use the pure Ant buildfiles you find in the plugins sdk. As there's typically no java in a theme, it doesn't make a lot of differences.
Not wanting to start IDE wars here, but you also might consider Liferay IDE (or Developer Studio, it's EE-Version) for theme-related development. As there's no Java development done in themes, the conflict of changing tools should be handleable. I wouldn't want to work in both IDEs for Java development again (been there, done that), but for themes I can imagine just going the easy route - it's mainly CSS that you edit.
I would like to ask how other more experienced Coffeescript developers are using their respective IDE's or editors with auto-complete when developing modular libraries and / or referencing external Javascript libraries (jQuery, jQuery UI, RequireJS, Handlebars, ...).
As much as I've tried various IDE's and plug-ins for Coffeescript, none of these seem to support auto-completion when the project consists of several script files. For example: in Visual Studio I can add a commented directive such as /// <reference path="/js/jquery.js" />. I'd need something similar for Coffeescript.
I have tried following without success:
Visual Studio with Web Workbench by Mindscape
Netbeans with dstepanov's Coffeescript plug-in
Aptana with the Coffeescript ruble
Further, I am aware of Jetbrain's WebStorm 3.x support for Coffeescript, unfortunately, my evaluation period expired before I realized I'd need this feature - can anyone confirm that setting the Javascript / Coffeescript Usage Scope works as expected with auto-complete?
So effectively what I am asking: is there an IDE or plug-in, commercial or otherwise, enabling auto-complete for Coffeescript libraries spanning multiple files?
Hate to answer my own question, but after giving JetBrains WebStorm 3.0.2 another demo run on another box, I figured it worked best and does have 'smarter than average' auto-complete for coffeescript projects. It simply loads all coffeescript files in to a global auto-complete context and you can add external libs (cs or js) as well using the project's scope settings. Could be better, but for now I cannot find any other IDE or tool running on PC or Linux, OSS or paid, that tops WebStorm and I don't have the fortunes to explore OSX alleys.
I am sure future tools, plugins, IDE's will pop up for various platforms that do offer great coffeescript module management and proper contextual auto-completion in the editor. So please, do keep the suggestions coming.
Thanks!
I personnaly use Kdevelop. I can't remember if I installed a plugins or something to get it work with coffeescript.
But it works very well, the highlighting colors are pretty, when ctrl+d it add coffeescript commentary and so on.
Also I do make compilation directly in KDevleop.
Well also it's free, I am using it on linux debian but I think it works on most platforms.
