You forgot to mention that eclipse takes about 45 seconds to load :) Mark A. Kruger, MCSE, CFG (402) 408-3733 ext 105 Skype: markakruger www.cfwebtools.com www.coldfusionmuse.com www.necfug.com

I can download a cfml file and double-click on it, and have it open in CFEclipse. Network paths work the same way, click, click, boom. I incorporated this into CFEclipse, but you can add the EclipseCall plugin to CFB if it really doesn't have the ability.

But in and through all this they retain a kind of homesickness for the scenes of their childhood.

I would regularly use Homsite to open random config files off my hard drive for formatting that had nothing to do with the web.
