Project

Creating A Cold Fusion Project

The Cold Fusion editor (CFML Editor) will only activate properly if within a project. Trying to simply open a cold fusion file will cause the editor to fail. This is an error in the plug-in and slated to be fixed. To create a Cold Fusion project select File then New followed by Project…; these steps will launch the new project wizard.

In the new wizard dialog, select Simple then Project, and then click next.

On the next step you will need to give a name to the project, and specify the directory where the local copy of the files should be stored. If you have cold fusion files that already exist on your system, you can specify the directory to use by selecting the Browse… button and choosing the appropriate directory.

Use

Probably better to use the CFEclipse Perspective. Window, Open Perspective, Other, CFEclipse…
