I have upgraded to Big Sur on my MacBook Pro. Aptana Studio 3 has stopped working. I get an Alert "Failed to created the Java Virtual Machine'. I've tried re-installing both Java and Aptana Studio 3 without success. Any help to resolve the issue would be appreciated.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14
It is my understanding that due its age, Aptana Studio 3 requires Java 6. This version of Java is not supported on Catalina, or Big Sur because it is 32-bit code, and no Apple installers offering Java 6 will work either. You will need to run Aptana Studio 3 on macOS Mojave where 32-bit code (and Java 6) are still supported, or within a Big Sur compatible virtual machine from a Mojave guest operating system.

I may be wrong but see no update to the Mavericks version. You need to contact the developer for a Big Sur version, if there is one.
Thank you for the speedy reply. Is the "Mavericks" reference to the Java? If so I guess you are suggesting I contact Oracle.
Thank you very much for your reply.
I was running Aptana Studio 3 quite successfully on Catalina, so something else must be amiss wrt the upgrade to Big Sur.
