Andrew,
If you are in a development server, then the .svn shouldn't matter. If it is
on production then you should worry.
Yes, the project is usually setup in a way that you can just browse to the
url and run the site. This is the best way to do it, however there is other
ways to go about it too. Ant can be used to deploy, compile and a range of
other stuff as well to do what you need.
For example I have a project like this
Project Root
-wwwroot
-src
I have other directories but this will give you a clue, as to what I refer
too.
The src directory is my src files, and anything relted to my project. I then
have an ant script that runs when I save a file, that then builds the
application and compiles it and then moves it to the wwwroot directory.
I can then just point my browser to the url, and it will run this version.
In my case, I have set it up to compile and copy because I run this website
on a shared hosting provider.
You can make any combination that suits you, so if you want to contact me
offlist or on here is even just as fine for others. I would be happy to help
you further with your queries.
The help files will be eventually put back into CFB on final release, I am
not sure why Adobe chose to move them away. But I ended up raising a ticket
to have them back into the IDE, and it appears that this will be the case on
final release of the product.
I personally like the help in the ide, if you saw how I have my setup, Adobe
would never have made such a stupid move in the first place. But I think it
is because they wish to show case Air more, and that doesn't give them the
right to ignore use case scenarios.
Given half the chance you will find that having eclipse as the technology
under the hood will give you more opportunities than you might care to think
about. I am in the process of finalizing how I use ColdFusion builder as a
plugin, with mylyn, and subversive and some other plugins to get my work
done.
But if you have any questions do shoot an email and/or post in here and I
and others will be more than glad to help you out.

Thanks to all who replied to my initial query.
I've set it up as an Eclipse plugin, and also got subclipse
installed. The eclipse version I used was
Eclipse SDK
Version: 3.5.1
Build id: M20090917-0800
I'm still finding my way with it and noticing a few issues (eg. the
Help - ColdFusion Builder Help menu link does nothing).
Finally it seems like you have to have all your code in the server's
web root to make this thing useful. Is that correct?
Personally I prefer to edit in the local directory (eg. c:\myproject)
and then export it to the server's web root (eg. c:\wwwroot) when I
want to run it.
The link folders thing *kind of* tries to address this -
http://blogs.adobe.com/cfbuilder/2009/08/link_folders.html, but the
end result is that you are still working on files in the web root, but
you just have a symbolic link kind of thing from your project folder
to the web root, yeah?
I don't know why I don't like this arrangement - I think it's because
stuff like your .svn dirs is under the web root. I guess it doesn't
hurt, but it just seems wrong to me for some reason :-)
Andrew.
