Very good point. From that standpoint the language itself is controlled by a
corporation (Adobe) but, from what I know, the language itself is open
source. From the stance of "vendor neutrality" it probably would not be a
good fit.

For information sake, there are three major companies that make ColdFusion
engines: Adobe, New Atlantis, and Railo Technologies. Recently (within the
last year) New Atlantis has spawned an open source version of their engine,
Blue Dragon, which has become a separate entity. In the next month or two
Railo Technologies is joining JBoss making two ColdFusion engines that
are/will be available.

But yes, the more I look at the WTP project itself I can see that it
wouldn't fit with the rest of the selection. I'll look into other
alternatives.

Thanks for your time.
