CFEclipse: CFML plug-in for the Eclipse IDE v3.0

Rob Rohan and crew have released another update to the CFEclipse CFML plug-in for the Eclipse IDE v3.0. Given the DW team's reluctance to support the hand-coder and the virtual abandonment of Homesite+, the CFEclipse movement may get some legs.

The new cfeclipse version (1.1.8) is up on the cfeclipse project site:
http://cfeclipse.tigris.org, and ready for download. Windows, Mac and Linux versions are available.

New stuff for this release:

  • CFC method viewer - jump to methods in yours CFCs with the greatest of
    ease
  • Snippet overhaul - add/edit/delete snippets in the editor and
    variables are now supported (i.e. $${DATE} for date or $${myvar} for
    custom ones
  • Tupman Parser improvements - several types of errors will be spotted
    in your CFML code for you and reported on the problems tab (without
    these almost non of the other stuff would've been possible)
  • Browser view - (windows only at present) shows a browser view in the
    editor defaults to livedocs, but can be set per project to whatever you
    like
  • Ctrl+Space - opens attributes and tags insight, and in cfscript lists
    all the functions in the CFML language XML.
  • Extra help insight - like in java doc in java editors
  • New CFC and CFML wizards to create simple CFML files (also has a
    browse-able extends for CFC's - very cool)
  • Added a user.xml to the dictionary directory so you can add your own
    cf_ cfx_ and functions to code insight without fear of an overwrite
    ("soon" the editor will learn them as you make them)
  • Added a bunch of cflib.org UDFs to the snippet library (and other snip
    improvements now we have variables)
  • Preference pages - you can set insight speed, snip directory, and a
    few other goodies
  • CFML perspective improvements
  • Bunch of other little things
