Thanks for the explanation and info, Jeff. > If you are developing Java apps, then the MyEclipse plugin is probably for you.
No...I don't do anything with Java... >VS2005 has the same idea, except in most case you are paying a lot of money for the tools. Although I'm most interested in Visual Web Designer 2005 Express, since it's designed for newbie's to that type of programming, I am getting a free copy of Visual Studio Standard for attending 3 online seminars about using ASP.NET for Cold Fusion Programmers... That, and IIS 6.0, seems to be all I'd need to work in the ASP.NET 2.0 world... I'm not too happy about that prospect, however... I've come far enough with CF to be useful in the world and make a good living. I'm not too thrilled with starting over with another language. Know of any ASP.Net Lists that I can lurk on? That's were I find out what it's really like to work with something...by listening to what the actual users are going through, not by reading promo materials. I did that with a css lists and quickly found out that I'm not touching total CSS design anytime soon...they take up all their time troubleshooting and how to make everything work with every browser out there...I'm really not interested in whether or not an Opera user can view my sites...until it becomes a dominant browser...talk about "religious fanaticism"... sheesh...

You are isolated from Eclipse for the most part. As Ben stated, the IDE runs on top of Eclipse. If you are using Eclipse as your primary IDE, then you can opt to install FlexBuilder as a 'plugin'. If you take this route, you already know how Eclipse works, so it is a non-issue. You just download and install the plugin. Eclipse is the Java worlds answer to MS Visual Studio, except that it is free. People build plugins (or apps) that extend the functionality of the IDE. If you are developing Java apps, then the MyEclipse plugin is probably for you. Using CF? CFEclipse is the plugin you want. Need source control? You download Subversion and the Subclipse plugin so you can maintain version control. Want to check out Ruby on Rails, download the plugin for that. You integrate all of these plugins to customize your workspace to the way you work. VS2005 has the same idea, except in most case you are paying a lot of money for the tools. They do have open source initialtives, but you won't see nearly as many. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:239684 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
