The version for these OS's will be available within a couple of weeks. We rolled out Windows only initially. As far as any Adobe plugins go, we would love to have their stuff to enrich the catalog for certain (as we would many companies and tools), but we do not have anything definite on that front. I'll be sure to let you know any developments. Thanks, Jens poweredbypulse.com Jim,

Also, if I visit the download page on my Mac, I see a note that Mac and Linux versions are coming soon. @Jim -

(big company + lawyers = long time) :) And a quick comment - someone from Pulse did email me and let me know that they are still communicating with Adobe about getting the ColdFusion plugins included… (big company + lawyers = long time) :)

The Pulse folks do read my blog so if you try v2 and have feedback - please feel free to comment again!

Although it's usable, I've found all kinds of annoyances with the current version: 1. Installing non-packaged software is a pain in the ass and can't be upgraded through the usual upgrade process. 2. Eclipse itself can't be patched through the usual channels 3. Some settings just won't persist (e.g. my Svn ignore preferences) between sessions. Here's hoping v2 is a better offering. I love the idea, but the implementation is lacking at this point, I've found. It should be noted that there is no Mac or Linux client yet, but hopefully v2 will be stronger than v1.
