Maybe you aren't aware of the CFEclipse scribble template? It will let you test out code and run it at the press of a button (I use F8). I use it all the time for quick tests. Though if it ends up being anything useful at all, it gets organized into my Tests project (and SVN repo of course) for future use. I have a giant library of random tests and hacks that I go back to all the time when a similar problem comes up.

I guess I just don't ever do this. If I'm working on code, I'm working on code. Eclipse is open, the projects are there. The "double click, edit, and save" that folks are used to in Dreamweaver is not, to me at least, a very useful way of working. If it is anything important, anything at all, it is committed to SVN and in all likelihood a unit test is run on it before it is committed (using what else but the built-in unit testing tab of CFEclipse). > I'm not saying CFEClipse sucks or anything.

I never said it was easier than Dreamweaver. I just said it isn't much harder to use than Dreamweaver. What photoshop has to do with editing CF code I don't know. I meant that Photoshop is an example of a program with a very steep learning curve, far beyond what it takes to learn CFEclipse. When I think of a steep learning curve, I think of Photoshop. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 and Flex 2 Build sales & marketing dashboard RIAâs for your business.
