If you're running any of the Windows professional versions (XP Pro etc.) You should either have installed or can install IIS.. So you have a local webserver. ColdFusion Dev version will run quite happily on that.
Link your datasources to your development data servers, provided that you can. I run a local copy of CFMX 7 w/IIS, linked to remote datasources. I downloaded the entire working application to the IIS wwwroot. Create your projects in Eclipse and your good to go. -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 7241 Jillspring Ct.

Is there a 12 step group for "Production Developers Anonymous"? I'd like to start using a local copy of Developer Edition for developing my apps... but I have a couple of questions. Currently I'm still using Homesite+ but I have CFEclipse installed. We have 7 or 8 web sites that I work on regularly, so from a local development perspective, I either need to use a locally installed web server with one instance of coldfusion... or I need to install multiple instances of coldfusion and use the built in web server for each web site. Those are my options, right? Can I use the Developer Edition locally but still use an external web server with host headers to determine which site I'm accessing? That way I could just use a hosts file to get to them. Now... should I edit the source code "in place" in the appropriate web root? I've been using flex Builder a lot and it publishes the compiled swf and HTML to the destination directory each time.. is there something similar when using CFEclipse to edit HTML/CFM/CFC files? If I'm also using Subversion and something like Subclipse (I haven't tried this yet)... should my webroot also be my "working copy"? I guess that's enough questions to get y'all started on SAVING ME from my bad habits.
