== ColdFusion Builder ==

The installation package includes the directories for ColdFusion Builder and you must follow the approved [http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusionBuilder/2.0/Using/WS0ef8c004658c1089-554789f8121af8f0c8c-7ffb.html#WS0ef8c004658c10895658d0411237a61e742-8000 CFBuilder installation instructions].

You can also use our [http://www.coldbox.org/forgebox/view/ColdBox-Platform-Utilities ColdBox Platform Utilities] extension to create variable mappings to several of the key ColdBox classes to get cool introspection.

== CFEclipse Dictionary ==

Thanks to [http://www.cfeclipse.org/ CFEclipse] you can have custom language dictionaries loaded right into your editor.  Thus, I created the language dictionary for The ColdBox Framework.  You can download it via the link below or just download the ColdBox Bundle package that includes all the IDE extras 
in the '''install''' directory:



This will provide you with function insight to every method a handler/plugin/layout and view inherit.  You will also have insight into the controller object, the event object or the rc scope if you define one.

=== Installation ===

# Download the above zip file, expand it and you will have a '''coldbox.xml''' file.
# Exit Eclipse or make sure it is not opened
# Browse to '''< eclipse install path >/plugins/org.cfeclipse.cfml_<version number>/dictionary/''' and move '''coldbox.xml''' into that directory.
# open up the '''dictionaryconfig.xml''' file that is in that directory and add the following XML above in each version of coldfusion you would like ColdBox insight into. Look at sample below:

<source lang="xml">
<version key="cf8" label="Coldfusion 8">
	<grammar location="cf8.xml" />
	<grammar location="user.xml" />
	<grammar location="coldbox.xml" />
</version>
<version key="cfmx701" label="Coldfusion 7.01">
	<grammar location="cfml7.xml" />
	<grammar location="user.xml" />
	<grammar location="coldbox.xml" />
</version>
<version key="bd70" label="BlueDragon 7.0">
	<grammar location="cfmlBD70.xml" />
	<grammar location="user.xml" />
	<grammar location="coldbox.xml" />
</version>
</source>

# Start Eclipse and welcome to ColdBox scope and function insights.
