Is it possible to merge the Aptana IDE with the Espruino Web IDE or is it really worth it?

Presumably if Aptana is based on Eclipse it's actually written in Java?

I'd say realistically merging isn't going to work (and if Espruino 'moved' IDE it'd have to be as multiplatform and easy to install as the Web IDE currently is). But there's nothing to say that you couldn't write a plugin that used the EspruinoTools package to contact Espruino from Aptana.

... or @ollie made a very cool program that monitors a file for changes and uploads it to Espruino when it has changed. Presumably with that kind of thing you could do what's needed easily enough.
