Making the Switch to CFEclipse to Write ColdFusion Code

About a year ago, when I wrote an article on Dreamweaver, I used half of Dreamweaver and half of Homesite. Today, as I write this, half my development is done in CFEclipse and the other half in Dreamweaver. Unfortunately I used Dreamweaver as a really advanced text editor, something it's not that great at. CFEclipse seemed like the obvious alternative so I got it installed and I'm slowly learning its power. The learning curve for CFEclipse has been steep, since, coming from Dreamweaver, its interface is counterintuitive. Assuming that other people are having the same problem, I thought I'd share my thoughts.

#4	Carlos Corredor commented on 18 Apr 2006 As a result of reading your article, I downloaded and installed Eclipse. It looks like the CFEclipse HELP does not contain anything. Is this correct? or did I do something wrong? I tried finding this information in eclipse.org, but no luck. If you have time, could you please give me some ideas on this? Thank you, Carlos
