Hi Mark,
Thanks for the insight. Sounds like the old PIII might be ok.
The fact that CFeclipse is 'free' seems to get mentioned quite a lot. While I applaud the efforts of people who can afford to give away their time, just because a piece of software is 'free' doesn't really mean much to me. Effectively, Homesite is 'free' for me too as I am a Devnet subscriber. IIS and .asp are both 'free' (as I understand it) after you buy the OS of course - but I don't use either of them even though I own the OS. CF is also not free, and yet we choose to use it (or our employers do) even though PHP is *almost* as good. The list goes on.
I'm not having a go, just making an observation that in the end economics isn't necessarily the key factor in our decisions about the tools we employ.
Thanks again,
Brett B)

I'm using it on a PIII 800 -
Atm I am running:
Firefox with 3 tabs Toad Eclipse - CFEclipse (and a variety of other plugins) Groove, Outlook Google Desktop Search ICQ Yahoo McAffee
I will admit, sometimes Eclipse will just freeze (most likely garbage collecting), and opening up a new filetype can be a bit slow, as it brings in the plugins - but it is definatley outweighed by it's fexibility and versatility.
And you can't beat the fact that you can go - 'Hey, can I have bracket highlighting' and within a relatively short period, it's there.
I'd suggest at LEAST giving it a try - (just do one project with it.. not just open and peek around).
Did I mention it's free? ;o)

Hi,
I've heard people for and against CFEclipse. Those against have mostly made the point that it is *really* slow and that has been enough to put me off trying it. My development machine is a fairly old Dell PIII 600 with 512Mb of memory. Is that a reasonable config for CFEclipse? For people who *are* happy with it, what spec machine are you running it on and what else are you running on the box? Oracle? SQL-Server?
BTW, I use Homesite 5.5+ and am very happy with it...
Thanks,
