It *is* a single tool though Mike. That's Eclipse itself...the plug-ins are generally specific to a set of closely related tasks. As for XML plug-in there are a couple of freebies you can toss in...You can then customize your display with aspects of any plug-in and have a single UI with all features. -Stace -----Original Message----- From: Mike Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 18, 2004 4:42 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: cfeclipse + phpeclipse? Thanks Rob, I'm disappointed that it doesnt handle XML files other than the way a text editor does. I had the impression since there's a XML plugin, that it had XML productivity features. (Yes I do understand that your project is the CFML plug in but the idea of a single tool to handle CFML, CFCs, and XML was one of the main attractions for me). As to the videos, I'm not worried about the low budget. In fact I think it makes them better in a way. I do a weekly radio show on a community (volunteer run) FM station and I reackon our shows are better than the ones on the commercial stations too. I had Eclipse going, and was able to pick from a dropdown menu of perspectives, so I assumed Eclipse had installed ok and went on to the next step- getting the CF plug-in. After I updated teh product with the CFEclipse plugin, the perspectives view only displays "Other" When I select "other" (easy decision since that's the only option) I get a dialog box of sorts that offers the choices of perspectives to choose from, but no matter which one I choose, nothing happens. Opening a file by using "File>Open>" I can open another file (as long as it's not XML) and the file opens, but all the other panes remain unchanged. The window is very bare (but the working space is not full-screen) and not at all like the one in the videos. There's a blank "navigator" panel on the left and an empty outline panel on the right.
