Fusebox Fuseactions In Eclipse Outline View

January 28, 2010 by Jim · 2 Comments 

I’m working on an older project written in Fusebox (I’m so happy to be working on something using a framework for a change!) and was struggling to weed through the circuit files.

I’m using CFEclipse and editing the XML files using Aptana’s XML editor.

My first thought was I could use the Outline view but that didn’t give me anything useful:

Aptana XML Editor - Default Outline View

Aptana XML Editor - Default Outline View

Digging in the Aptana preferences however turned up this GEM:

Aptana > Editors > XML

“Tag attributes to show in outline view”

By default this is set to ‘id’.  I added ‘name’ (it accepts a comma delimited list) and viola! It now shows my fuseactions in the Outline view:

Outline View Showing Name Attribute

Outline View Showing Name Attribute

I think CFBuilder is using Aptana under the hood so I would imagine this may work there as well.
