Aptana ‘org.mozilla.rhino’ error while installing RadRails
If you are installing RadRails on Aptana and getting ‘org.mozilla.rhino’ error, you are probably upgrading your old installation. Searching for all files related to Aptana and deleting them before installing new version should fix the problem.
After uninstalling older version of Aptana, I had over 110MB left in the ‘Programs Files/Aptana’ folder. I’m not sure where the files are kept on a *nix platform or OSX though.

Hi Alex,
Thank you for posting that. We’d like to know what version of Aptana you were upgrading from/to and where you got that error regarding org.mozilla.rhino so we can either prevent it or have a workaround.
The old update files are stored in the same relative place on *nix–the plugins folder. If you wish to delete them, there is also a GUI for doing so by going to Help Menu > Updates > Manage Configuration. If you click on the little icon with the “no” through it, it will show you old items. You can now click on them and choose “uninstall”
Thanks!
Ingo
Ingo,
I had build 0.2.8.14163 configured for RadRails. It started locking up me very frequently with 100% CPU usage on mundane tasks like cutting and pasting. At first it was happening occasionally but gotten to the point where I spent more time waiting than writing code so I decided to reinstall.
I went through a regular Add/Remove dialog in Vista and then attempted to install latest build from Aptana.com. After that I proceeded to install RadRails addon.
At first I was having a problem getting updates at all because it looked like it was using older Eclipse repository and I kept getting 403 each time it trying to fetch a list of available addons. I deleted everything matching “*aptana*” from the user folder and that fixed the 403 issue.
After getting the list of available addons, each time I tried to check RadRails it would fail dependency check with missing ‘org.mozilla.rhino’ error. Clicking on “install required dependencies” wasn’t doing anything.
I uninstalled again and went on to check the Program Files folder and found over 100MB of files left in Aptana folder. After deleting it and reinstalling RadRails upgrade went through without a problem.
Hope this helps.
Alex, thanks for your blog, I really like your morning brews and your syntax highlighter (I use it in myblog)-
You should definitely take a look at http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/Ruby
rspec integration with debugging, Autotest, some refactoring, .. It’s still beta software but Tor and his team deliver daily bug fixed and new features.
I haven’t used Aptana RadRails for the last 6 months so I am not up to date but I have enjoyed too much Netbeans to try another IDE!

Thnx for pointing to NetBeans! I’ve been using it for about 3 days now and absolutely love it.
