Yep,
If you use the split screen design view a lot in DW then you're really
going to miss that if you try cfeclipse.
We have no intention of being a replacement for that aspect of DW. Our
goal is to provide the best text based editing tools for CFML. In
particular CFCs and things like dynamic insight and problem reporting.
For example:
If you're editing a function in a CFC we want to be able to provide
insight for all methods in the CFC, all arguments, and all variables
that are declared in the pseudo-constructor area.
If you have an argument that's another CFC then we'd want to be able to
provide insight for the methods in that CFC when you use that argument
in your code. So you type "arguments.usermanager." and cfeclipse pops up
a list of all methods in the usermanager cfc. If you type
"arguments.usermanager.getUser(" it will provide you with the name and
type of the first argument along with the hint info.
Basically the same type of thing that you get in a lot of java editors.
There are limitations to how far we can go with that, but one of the
nice things about it is that the things that we can do actually
encourage good coding practices. If you have fully encapsulated your
code then you can always get insight for the variables that you're
using. If you're relying heavily on variables that come from the
environment (url, form, request etc.) then we can't provide much insight.
