In response to the issue of cost, I understand the sentiment but if you are doing any extensive Java or Javascript editing professionally I think the issue is moot.
I've used CFEclipse since the first week it was released and I appreciate Spike's and Mark's work on making the first real CF IDE, but I think IntelliJ is far superior to Eclipse as a multi language IDE. The CFML plugin is not feature complete with CFEclipse but the rate of improvement is quite encouraging! I'd recommend anyone who has large javascript libraries to try out IntelliJ and see how nice it is to have an IDE that treats javascript like a real programming language, I've used Aptana and JSEditor in eclipse and they really can't compare. You can actually refactor methods and variables across an entire project. Also I have to mention the java refactorings available in IntelliJ are very impressive and time saving, I haven't really used the Flex/AS3 editor but from what I understand you get to use the same refactorings. Just my 2 cents, and again I don't work for JetBrains but I do really enjoy the IDE, and find its cost to be worthwhile. Kenton PS, if cost is truly a big deal and you don't mind living on the edge you can use the EAP releases (a beta) which includes a 30 day trial and is released once a week. >hmm... a $250 IDE (personal licence)... no, thanks, i already have DW, >which i am happy with... and the free Eclipse+CFEclipse which i am >almost happy with... >though it does look interesting to play with... i may consider testing >it out when i start some open-source project (if i get approved by >JetBrains for a free edition)... > >Azadi Saryev >Sabai-dee.com >http://www.sabai-dee.com/ > > > >Kent >> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:316205 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
