This may not be a mountain lion issue, but may be something simple; I’m trying to get to PyDev, installing Aptana Studio 3 as PyDev is included. Apologies for what might be a newb query, but I can’t find any relevant breadcrumbs.
Installing on OSX 10.8.2, Java 1.6.0_35. Downloaded Aptana Studio 3.2.2, package installed fine. Starting the app fails with the attached trace, with either 32- or 64-bit jvms. Experimenting with Eclipse installed separately also fails with the same “unknown repository type” error.
The dir it’s looking for does exist, and making it world-writable doesn’t help.
Suggestions? Debugging tactics? Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, it’s a file locking issue, but it’s not straightforward, as changing permissions in obvious spots or moving the dist doesn’t seem to fix it. The easiest workaround is to add
to the eclipse.ini file, which gives each user (or just me) a writable config in their home dir.
Solution was discussed here.
Thanks to @irbull for his answer.
