I was stuck on this issue few days back, when I happened to have more than 100 errors in my project and Eclipse “Problems” window was only showing me the top 100. It took me a while to figure out where to change this , so I thought I would blog it.
In your Eclipse IDE Preferences (whether its Eclipse, Flex Builder or Adobe ColdFusion Builder), any Eclipse based IDE, you will find this setting under Java->Compiler->Building. Thats where you can change this setting. More »
Whether its FlexBuilder or CFEclipse, Eclipse is what I use all day long. I was thinking of compiling a list of really useful Eclipse plugins from the perspective of a Coldfusion developer. Here are the ones that I use :-
CFEclipse – Ofcourse!
XmlBuddy – Allows me to manage XML files better.
Subclipse – Subversion – I use it all the time.
AntView – Recently started using after looking into Ant.
MultiClipboard – Quite useful!
Coldfusion 8 Extensions for Eclipse – I really like the Log Viewer from these extensions.
Woul be nice to know what others use as well.
I have heard a lot about Ant for years now but being a CF developer, never really had the need to use it, or I must say, never bothered to use it. However, recently, I read some blog posts about this and I was very impressed by its power and the opportunities it opens. So I decided to give it a try. Because I use Eclipse for development, it made my life easier as it comes with the Eclipse installation. All I had to do was to create a new Eclipse/CFEclipse project and throw in a build.xml file and then rock n roll.
As my first attempt with Ant, I decided to work on a build file that would take all my source files from a folder, zip them up and save the zip file into a backups folder giving the zip file a timestamp based name. Sounds very easy to do with a CF script but this time around I was gonna try to do this with a Ant build file. More »
