Well Eclipse can do most any kind of file so it is a single tool just like you want. I use it for Java, JSP, CFML, C++, XML, PHP, and SQL almost daily. But the CFEclipse part is just for cfml. There is a C# plug-in, a XML plug-in, a regular expression plugin, an xpath plugin (the list goes on and on and on). The reason eclipse is so cool is that the work is broken up between the different plugins - meaning no one plugin does everything. If you want to you can set XML files to be opened (associated) with the CFEclipse plugin and it'll color code, but you'd get the most bang for your buck getting an XML focused plugin. What that will do will create a special editor that starts when you open an XML file - sounds like you are missing that plugin. > As to the videos, I'm not worried about the low budget.

It sounds like your workspace got hosed if you have no other plugins at all.

If you want to still give it a shot, sign up on the cfeclipse mailing list and post a screen shot of what you are seeing, we'll be able to help you a more - I am scratching my head trying to visualize what you are seeing. http://cfeclipse.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList Cheers, Rob -- ~The cfml plug-in for eclipse~ http://cfeclipse.tigris.org ~open source xslt IDE~ http://treebeard.sourceforge.net ~open source XML database~ http://ashpool.sourceforge.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:188132 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
