But the problem is that I mostly use jQuery rather than code in JavaScript and Aptana does not have good support / content assist from beginning. So we need to install ruble for jQuery library. Ruble is short for Ruby bundle and is a runtime environment that allows the extensibility of Aptana Studio's editors by using Ruby.
