There's little point in making it Open Source. It might be a nice gesture from Adobe, but it's hard enough finding CF developers willing to do Java; finding a Delphi developer willing to support HomeSite would be even worse!
For the people that like Homesite, there's nothing wrong with continuing to use it, once you don't mind a lack of updates. (This is assuming the updates are some form of proprietary/binary format; if they are text-based then the CF9 stuff yourself!) > I tried CFECLIPSE and I tried the beta version of > Adobes CF developer thing.

It *might* be possible to produce a minimalised/streamlined Eclipse base with just the required stuff in - but there are so many other things that CFEclipse needs first, and only a limited number of people able to spare a limited amount of time to work on improving it. The great thing is that if people want CFEclipse to be better, they can help to make it better! You do NOT need to know Java to help with CFEclipse - there's plenty of other tasks that can be done, and doing those will mean that the Java developers can concentrate on the Java tasks, and thus everything improves. So, if there's things you don't like about CFEclipse (either bugs or feature requests), raise them on the issue tracker - problems can't be fixed if they're not known! And, if you want to speed their resolution, pop on to the mailing list ( cfeclipse-us...@googlegroups.com ) and see if you can help out - either directly working on them, or indirectly (by improving other areas), and hopefully it wont be long before we've all got a great IDE! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
