I would say it "Build it in AIR" ;) I would be cross platform once we get a linux version of AIR runtime. In my humble opinion I would go for CFEclipse, a lot of functionality is already there with the CFExtensions adding support for RDS and debugging. I don't know how much work would be to recr

Good grief. I'm getting (bad) flashbacks from late 90s/early 2000. I recall a certain java server that had the IDE built directly into it. Silverstream? On Jan 7, 2008 2:53 PM, Brian Kotek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A moot point if the platform is Eclipse-based. What I think would really > ki

A moot point if the platform is Eclipse-based. What I think would really kick ass is if Adobe would embed a bare-bones version of the ColdFusion server itself directly into Eclipse (since it is also Java-based), or hook directly into a local install of CF. Because at that point the parsing challeng

Gotta love statistics. Where are you getting these numbers from again? I think it's in Adobe's best interest to make it cross-platform. Else the wrath of Ray / Sean / some others might be felt. :) On Jan 7, 2008 2:42 PM, Andy Matthews <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Again...I would argue that the

Well, I've lurked around here for several of months now and you're finally discussing a subject about which I have strong feelings. Homesite and CF Studio are the only tools I've ever used to develop Web apps. The Studio 5 CFML Wizards are great but should be easier to customize. The custom butto
