How about an Adobe based plugin that also has a plugin for BlueDragon?  Maybe 
the BlueDragon folk would work on that...

Mark just said that Dean Harmon (of Adobe) spent a lot of time at
CFUNITED helping him get CFEclipse running on Eclipse 3.3 and Adobe
has provided the website hosting for a long time via HostMySite
(unless that has changed recently).

You need to remember that Adobe flew the old CFEclipse team to Newton
(from all over the world) for a summit a few years ago and Adobe
delivered on *everything* it agreed to contribute to the project. It
was the CFEclipse team themselves who did *not* follow up on their
agreed contributions. Adobe have helped the project for years.

But the fact remains that this is a public open source project with
essentially one developer who works very hard to bring an IDE that we
rely on very heavily. Mark has released lots of great new
functionality this year.

People also need to bear in mind that the old CFEclipse team were
adamant that the project not become Adobe-specific, that it remain
open to support BlueDragon's tag dictionary and other engines as well.
That definitely hindered Adobe's ability to get heavily involved.

Would folks like to see an Adobe-specific Eclipse-based editor like
Flex Builder that cost several hundred dollars? Every time the
CFEclipse team has talked about charging for the product, CFers run
away. Do you imagine it being any different if Adobe wanted to charge
for it?
