I have to use Dreamweaver at two of my clients, I do not know the versions
offhand but both are before CC. The syncing is pretty elementary but
honestly in all the years I have had to use the product it has not failed
to show me that files local v. remote are different. If I want to see the
So to summarise then, ColdFusion Builder 3 is a great IDE, except that

able to show me that they can work for me ...
[A] FTP doesnt work, and no one has yet offered me any way to make it work.

Mike,
With the question below, I am guessing as it is still in development there
are some parts of the rewrite that is still coming. But for now the option
you are seeking is the run as. If you RMB on a file or project you can
select run as ColdFusion Application. This has always been very

Sort off, I used to do it so that when I add a server to CFB I would use
the one connection to one ColdFusion Instance. Then would use that for
every project, but I found an issue where the run as in the editor wouldn't
work..
Long story short, the server settings in CFB are really a joke and I
Why does FTP not work? You don't actually say why it doesn't work.
Code insight does work, see where I said you may need to add those mappings
to the project.
Yes you can, the view in browser was and still might be a button that is a
short cut to the run as ColdFusion Application, And just
Mike,
Code insight does work on CFC that have been invoked using ColdSpring, you
just need to tell CFB where to find the CFC. Just follow these steps:
1. In the project properties, click on the CFC Mappings link.
2. Click on the New button in the CFC Variable Mapping section.
3. Enter usersDAO
Ok that's good news, Dean. I see code insight as a big benefit of
ColdFusion Builder, but so many things are going wrong these days I was
getting to assume that this was just not going to work for me.
(Sometimes I think there's a malicious supreme being looking over me
saying nah ah. you
Yes, that is correct. Just as you are telling ColdSpring where the CFC is,
you also have to tell CFB.

Thank you for persevering with me, Andrew. I'm glad it's not just me
being dense. This is still very confusing. I suppose once I've set up a
couple of projects it might be understandable. I'd hope so - i have 39 to
set up!!
Dean, thanks for the reassurance that code insight actually does
Actually I did mention the J2EE aspects, the context if if your using an
instance under a context.
I don't use the run as / view so I am guessing, but you did RMB on the
project and select the server to use for this project?

Andrew, thanks . I'm not trying to be stupid here, but I am not 'getting
it' yet. the context if if your using an instance under a context.
What does that mean? How to i know if i'm using a context?I just
installed ColdFusion using the defaults that come with the jrun install.
Mike,
Context only applies if you install ColdFusion as a J2EE server instance,
and you have a context to access that instance. If you only have a
standalone / Multi (pre CF 10) then you will not need to worry about it,
which I said earlier.

Andrew Scott

Thanks Scott but i DO have a J2EE server. That was how we all set up
coldfusion from MX because that's how shared hosting was set up. So anyone
using shared hosting set dev servers up the same.

is. Do i have one? Why do

A context root is a URL pattern to which all URLs identified as
possibly to be processed by CF will conform. In the vast majority of
cases, it's simply a single slash:

So far this has cost me about 8 hours of billable time to setup, and its
only required because Adobe decided to take ColdFusion out of Dreamweaver,
the tool I've been using for years and years. It's proving a BLOODY
EXPENSIVE tool.
A little bit of progress at last. I have to say this
Feel your pain Mike, but perseverance can fix that at times.
The root, is what I stated earlier, when I said I usually just set it to
the root for ColdFusion and that is the wwwroot in ColdFusion itself and
not inetpub or your projects. Yes I agree this area is not well documented
nor blogged,
I've had enough of this damned ColdFusion Builder 3 for now. It's just
too bloody frustrating. Maybe I might come back to it, maybe not.
The FTP/Synchronise thing is just barely something you would expect a
beginner programmer to produce.Trying to make it work is groping in the
dark
Mikenot that this helps you in anyway, but all your issues is why I
use code editors for writing code - period
I use an FTP client for moving files and I use SVN for knowing what to
upload
I use a browser for testing - never the browser in a code editor way
I've always developed that way
Thanks Brian, I think you might be right. After all the 'mine's bigger

is it opens FAST! I haven't had the time to
Mike,
First let me be very clear, ColdFusion Builder doesn't come with any FTP
support. This is an eclipse plugin that needs to be added to the
installation.
Here is a snippet from SO that explains this.
But again, you would do yourself a huge favor if your used something like
Scooters Beyond
Now come on the day Adobe has things like testing an integration testing
will be the day I die... I mean how can a company be told that there is a
serious backwards compatibility issue over 9 months ago, to ignore that and
never fix it. Yet ColdFusion 11 is now out in the wild and anything using
Thanks Andrew. I bow to your experience and wisdom. I was just going on
the words of Adobe where they have videos telling about the synchronisation
and the ftp settings etc in the app.There's my stupidity. I should know
better than to believe anything those buggers say. They have fallen
Are they older videos though?
Remember that a lot of functionality was rewriting, because it was part of
the Aptana application that CFB was built on. Since Adobe removed this,
things like FTP have gone out the window. Look to be honest, removing
Aptana is the best thing Adobe could have done.
Does anyone actually use CF Builder for multiple projects?
Everything I've seen so far seems to assume I'm working for a company with
one web site. There's nothing I've found so far showing how to set it up
for multiple web sites.
I thought I'd done it right, but apparently not, because I
Mike,
I user CFB / Eclipse for rmultiple clients all the time. You simply create
a new project (File -- New -- ColdFusion Project) for each site that you
are working on. In the navigator pane, you will see each project in a
separate folder. I then create a working set under the filter drop-down
I have about 20 client Projects is CF Builder.
You need to create Projects and basically NEVER use the File view. Use the
Navigator pane and Create New ColdFusion Project. Point it as your code and you
should be good to go from there. Eclipse is the base platform here and
everything is

Nothing beats good old CF Studio ! ;-)

Please - I dont want this to degenerate into a 'my ide is better than your
ide'. I'm not going back to CF Studio. I dont REALLY even want to
leave Dreamweaver - i dont have the time to learn a new IDE now but I'm
forced to because Adobe wont allow sensible use of Dreamweaver for
ColdFusion
Mike,
There are a few things that you haven't said if you have setup or not, I
have never liked the way CFB defines things and where it is all over the
place. Anyway lets start with a few basics.
1) Server setup.
When setting up a server in CFB you need to do this for each and every IP
and
Actually I only have ColdFusion set up on my desktop machine (at least as
far as this issue is concerned anyway) . It's a high end standalone PC. I
dont have multiple ips and server instances.I just set it up as
localhost/port 80 / c:\jrun4 No? I dont recall entering any ip
addresses
Actually that was probably a little vague, what I mean is if you need to
connect to more than website using the same ColdFusion instance. In CFB you
will need to add a server connection for each website.

Andrew Scott
