I have not found any Eclipse plugins that allow for a visual ColdFusion design environment.
I don't know of any either but I would take a look at the eclipse plugin sites: http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/ and http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/
The most significant limitation is the lack of support for the rds protocol for posting code to a server.
Actually There is a RDS plugin for Eclipse I use it everyday and it works great. The trick is knowing where to find it!! It is bundled with Flex Builder, and is in a zip file called coldfusion_plugins.zip or something like that. If you don't have flex builder you can download the trail, I'm not sure about the license ramifications of using the RDS plugin if you don't own flex builder - you will have to have your "people" figure that out for you. The plugin supports editing remote files, and viewing your datasources
The other big difference is the Project metaphor; most of the developers here are used to working on many files across the server and they have trouble adapting to this concept.
Actually the more recent versions of CFEclipse comes with a File Browser, you just have to enable it. Window -> Show View -> Other -> CFML -> File Explorer View The file explorer view also supports connecting to a FTP server and in the very latest release a SFTP server (I've been wanting that for a LONG time)!
What I would like to see is a UML to cfc plug-in that allows you to visually design your objects and then generate code to speed development. Reverse-engineering a design (cfc to UML) would be great too; has anyone seen anything like that?
Yeah that would be awesome, but I don't know of any such plugins for eclipse. I know that there have been some tools built that can generate CFC's from a UML diagram, I think someone wrote a plugin for viseo maybe... you'd have to search for it... I'd really to have one for reverse engineering, since I'm often working on other people's code, it would be easier to see what's going on. -- Pete Freitag http://foundeo.com/ - ColdFusion Consulting & Products http://petefreitag.com/ - My Blog http://spendfish.com/ - Fish for Deals ________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'Unsubscribe CFUGCNY' in the body.
