Does latest version of Aptana Studio 3 run on Yosemite with JDK 1.8?

Question

I just upgraded my Apple MacBook's OS to Yosemite (10.10.2) and afterwards I found out that my Aptana installation (ver.3.4.2.201308081805, according to the version.txt file of the root Aptana installation directory) does not run anymore:

"To open AptanaStudio3 you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime"

right after upgrading to Yosemite, I installed ver.1.8.0_31 of Java. So, I want to know whether installing the latest version of Aptana Studio 3 on Yosemite is going to resolve this since I do not want to revert to the legacy Java version of Apple.

Answer 1

After much experimentation and browsing through several threads in this and other sites, I have concluded that this issue is not related to Apple. When it comes to JAVA on Mac OS X Yosemite, there are 2 options: either use Apple's Java implementation (found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US ) or use the latest version of Oracle's JDK (ver.1.8.0_31 as of posting this answer, found here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html ). It seems that Aptana Studio 3 is not yet compatible with Oracle's Java and requires Apple's Java in order to work properly.

PS: Important: the latest version of Oracle's JRE is NOT an option for Java on Yosemite.
