As in the forum: http://www.aptana.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=13872 reported, the Plugin for Android can be installed as described in the manual: http://code.google.com/android/intro/installing.html#installingplugin but it doesn't show up in the preferences.
In my logfiles there is now entry which helps to find the problem.

I believe the issue is that the Android plugin requires Java Development Tools (JDT--the Android SDK is Java-based). The Aptana Studio stand-alone does not ship these Java tools by default as those users who wish to program in Java can download Eclipse instead and use Aptana as a plugin. My guess is that Android is failing to load because of a JDT dependency, and that is why the preference fails to show.

Please try installing Android and Aptana into a copy of Eclipse. That should work fine. Let us know if that behaves as expected.

This works, thanks a lot for the hint. I wrote a little how-to (german only) in my blog to help others which have the same "problem".

Closing this issue since installing JDT fixes the issue.
