Eclipse 3.3 and the ColdFusion Extensions for Eclipse

We found an issue right after sending the images to manufacturing with Eclipse 3.3 and the CF Extensions. Apparently somewhere between M3 and M7 they changed something internally which caused the RDS Query Viewer to not work properly. We fixed this as soon as we found it, but by then it was too late to get on the DVD's for CF8. But some of you, and I know you're out there, will be using Eclipse 3.3. So... if you download this version, you can use the Query Viewer in 3.3 as well. Follow the same install instructions as before, but the Query Viewer will now work properly again. Woohoo!

It's live now on Adobe.com (http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.... - which is ColdFusion's support page)

or the direct download link is here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/coldfusion/8/ec...

Dean,

A thousand thank you's for this entry! I was going a little crazy trying to figure out why the extensions I installed didn't work with eclipse 3.3. Even though the downloads are now live on Adobe.com, the explanation in this entry was a real sanity-saver. Thanks for posting it!

Dean,
I can't get Eclipse to recognize CF8 syntax. I'm running Linux and Eclipse 3.2. I added the CF8 extensions from Macromedia using the ZIP as a source, all went well but It's not recognizing CF8 syntax. I also followed the CF8 Dictionary instructions here,
and found the cf8.xml file was already there so I assume the above install worked. In my CFEclipse Project/Properties I still only see language up to 7.01.

Any thoughts on what to check?

Thanks

@Paul: Which version of CFEclipse are you using?

THanks for the reply. Sorry, 3.2 on Linux...

However, I already uninstalled and reinstalled Eclipse, then reinstalled CFEclipse and I got CF8 syntax. My problem may have been the myEclipse Pro Plugin. I'll reinstall it and see if it breaks again.

Can anyone tell me what features are in the Macromedia CF8 Eclipse plugin? Is it for Linux?

RDS support, some wizards and the new debugger

Thanks,

BTW: I loaded up the latest myEclipse plugin for Eclipse 3.2 and all is still well. I may load up the Macromedia plugin and see if all 3 can get along without breaking anything and report back here.

Thanks Again.
