Seems like every few months someone will post a message to the CFEclipse mailing list complaining about all the things CFEclipse doesn’t do.
I love CFEclipse! Does it have some rough edges? Sure! But I could never, ever go back to using Dreamweaver or Homesite. I’d give up waaaaay to much functionality.

The Semi-Annual CFEclipse Sucks Post (and what you can do about it)
Pulse 2 Released
Awhile ago I blogged about Pulse - an Eclipse management tool. Last week they released version 2 with the following new features:

Significantly larger software catalog
Improvements in the resolution of software configurations
Support for NTLM v2 style proxy servers

Giving Back to the ColdFusion Community
Lots of great stuff coming out of the recent Blue Dragon open-source announcement.
Vince has a GREAT write up on his blog - in particular point #6 which I’m going to quote because it is so good and really explains what is so important about open-source:
It’s often said that most people are only interested in the [...]
CFEclipse.org Redesign
I just launched the ‘new and improved’ CFEclipse.org site this morning!

This tutorial assumes you have the following installed:
CFEclipse
Subclipse plugin
A remote Subversion repository
First open CFEclipse and open the SVN Repository view.

SVN:Externals - Setting In CFEclipse/Subclipse
Have you used svn:externals yet? From the SVN book online:
Sometimes it is useful to construct a working copy that is made out of a number of different checkouts. For example, you may want different subdirectories to come from different locations in a repository, or perhaps from different repositories altogether. You could certainly setup such [...]
CFEclipse - In The Gutter
Today I was editing some code and for some reason (spacing out?) I noticed what the gutters were doing. The gutters are the area I have highlighted in the image above in yellow.
I knew about the TODO icon in the left gutter - but then I noticed the small yellow arrow. That is [...]
Developer Toolbox - Text Editor
Like a trusty six shooter, every developer needs a good text editor in their toolbox.
For heavy lifting it's great to wheel out the IDE (CFEclipse, Dreamweaver, etc) but for those quick edits using an IDE can seem like overkill. A simple text editor is lightweight and designed for doing one thing well - [...]
