Based on what Ram showed at MAX, I'd say version 2 is a "must have" (but then I already think version 1 is pretty much a must have :) > 1) When opening the IDE there are times when the colour syntax, and > everything else that is related to ColdFusion just won't work. Granted this > is not very often, but it is often enough to be annoying. I've had this happen maybe half a dozen times in however long I've had the product with day-in, day-out use. I don't view it as a big issue (but it makes me sympathetic for the CFBuilder team since the root cause is the failure of the Adobe licensing component to start correctly - a component that is essentially forced on the CFBuilder team and why the product isn't available for Linux). > 2) The outline feature never remembers whether it is collapsed or not, and > it should also begin in the collapsed so people can drill in rather than > drill out. OK, I'll buy that. And it is a minor annoyance. I actually wish it would always begin expanded to the first level so I guess they can't please everyone all the time. > 3) For no reason what so ever the heap will spike to the maximum, and hang > the IDE.

Never seen that (but I have the heap set larger than the default). > 4) When trying to stop a server in the servers view, the ColdFusion will > eventually report stopped.

I've occasionally noticed a bit of quirkiness here - but then JRun's launcher can be a bit flaky about this too. I'll be honest, I don't stop/start the server much thru CFBuilder - it's just not a use case I need / care about. > 5) When closing a lot of windows (Code files) by either using the Mylyn > plugin, or by close all.

I regularly close all windows with up to 20 editor windows open and never see this - but then I don't use Mylyn (tried it, didn't like it). Maybe it's an interaction with the Mylyn plugin? The big downside of Eclipse is plugin compatibility, IMO. > 6) I can be scrolling through a large file and I mean around large, and the > editor will just stop actually scrolling. How large? I've never seen this happen. > 7) The undo feature if you make a 1 to 5 letter change, and try to do an udo > then you find that it tries to do an undo somewhere else in the file and you > have to try to do an undo about 10-20 times before it catches upto your > actual changes. Really? Wow, never seen that one - but I agree that would be very frustrating if it happened. > 8) If you have a project on a UNC path, and close the IDE and re-open it. UNC. 'nuff said. Don't do that (your problem there is Windows, not CFBuilder :) Seriously tho' I've seen so many bugs reported against UNC paths in Java apps that I don't really think you can pin the blame on Adobe for this. > 9) When running the line debugger... > 10) When using the line debugger... > 11)When using the line debugger... > 12) When trying to set a break point to use the line debugger... > 13) After awhile the line debugger... Can't comment. I almost never use the line debugger. Never liked 'em. > 14) When typing some code, I can stop and hit the up arrow key before the > color of the code is complete.
