I will also add to Charlies post as well. In most cases I have found the debugger fairly fast, there has been times when I have noticed it can take a long time to step into and around some pages or functions etc.
I think the links Charlie has posted will be ample to get your head around debugging in Eclipse with CF, and when you mention about scopes. There is also an option when you setup the RDS I think or the Project to be debugged not sure at the moment which of the top of my head, but either one of those will allow you to select / deselect which scopes you wish to debug with. Hope that helps, I can't recall if that is explained anywhere or not. -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:cfaus...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of theog Sent: Wednesday, 25 March 2009 4:10 PM To: cfaussie Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Eclipse ColdFusion debugging sucks!
