Web Tools for Eclipse
If like me you've been using CFEclipse for coding, but when it comes to design bailing back to DWMX for its Js and CSS support - then its time to stop.
Eclipse.org has a Web Tools Project (WTP) which includes source editors for HTML, Javascript, CSS, JSP, SQL, XML and more.
To getting it up and running there are a few prerequisites
- 3.1 build only of Eclipse - personally i am having no troubles using the M7 build but they recomend M6
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index.php - EMF driver
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drivers/emf-sdo-xsd-SDK-I200504141117.zip - GEF driver
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drivers/GEF-SDK-3.1M6.zip - Java EMF Model Runtime driver
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drivers/JEM-SDK-I20050415.zip - and of course the Web Tools Platform it self (NON SDK)

Good find. I'm going to install it tomorrow. You using DBEdit for your database stuff?
Im using Quatum DB within Eclipse http://quantum.sourceforge.net/
Though usually i do my DB stuff from either MySQL Front or mainly MySQL Querybrowser (as you can tell im mainly a MySQL guy)

Well, this is verying interesting my I think I am missing something. Where is the DWMX type replacement? I see all the xml, wdsl and javascript editors but no html one. I must be missing something here. I installed everything yet when I open a HTML file with the html source editor there is no syntax coloring or code completion.
How'd you get it to work.

I have got the stuff running with 3.1m7 SDK.. but does anyone know if it works with the Eclipse 3.1 Platform? ie. the one without all the plugin builder and java plugins?
Gareth, if you want to know if it works on the non SDK build you might want to goto the following link

Its a good set of instructions for managing multiple eclipse installations which is what i am currently using. That way you can try out any build with the same set of plugins

Ian, I tried the HTML stuff last night and nothing worked as well. Though i tend to always be working on .cfm templates so CFE takes care of the HTML.
Yeah same here. I had hoped it would work... but I guess not huh. That's what ya get for being on the edge.
