Coda Adds Support for ColdFusion 8, Should Adobe do the Same for CFEclipse?

Editor

Coda, a good all round code editor for the Mac, has added full support for ColdFusion 8 in their latest release (version 1.1). Here is a screen shot:

Coda cfdump

While I like Coda I still prefer to use CFEclipse for coding on big projects due to its integration with CVS, snippets and complete code hinting among many others. Mark Drew has done an amazing job with the CFEclipse but I wish someone from Adobe would help him out with the code hints for CF8 (which are about 90% done). Here is what cfdump looks like in CFEclipse 1.3.1.6:

CfEclipse cfdump

Surely generating the relevant XML file wouldn't be that difficult for someone at Adobe?

Agreed! Even the DW CS3 code hinting is not entirely accurate. Given that I have to use both I'd be pleased to see them update both of them.

If it helps, I'm actually sorting out the CF8 CFE dictionary as we speak.

I would point out that Mark has repeatedly asked for the community to help out on this since it's easy to edit the dictionary and then submit the updated tag definitions back to Mark. I think he even blogged about the process he'd like people to follow. That's what open source community projects are about.

Glad to see you using Coda! I had emailed Coda support to see if they could get CF8 support in back in November so it was a great surprise that when I downloaded v1.1 it was there. They don't have all the enumerations for some attributes but all the attributes I know are there.
