I moved from Dreamweaver to cfBuilder about 12 months ago, and now work almost exclusively in cfBuilder. On the whole, I find it very good.
One thing I don't like though is that it isn't very good for editing Javascript, CSS and HTML (great for CFML though). I remember when reviewing Eclipse some time ago that you can setup Eclipse (using plugins ??) too work with different languages, such as CSS, HTML, SQL, Java, PHP .. whatever..
I assume this can be done with cfBuilder as well... how do I setup these different eclipse environments in cfbuilder?
Many Thanks in advance
EDIT: for example.. can I load this eclipse IDE into cfBuilder?. http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-javascript-web-developers/indigosr1
That to me looks like a complete Eclipse install with embedded plug-ins, rather than just a plug-in. So it would be to Eclipse what CFBuilder is to Eclipse; so you'd install it as well / instead of CFB, not as a plug-in within it.
Your question probably needs retagging: it's nothing to do with ColdFusion (which is the server end of things), and more to do with just "Eclipse" than "ColdFusion Builder", because the question is more "how does the Eclipse plug-in architecture work".
Perhaps the best way to start understanding how Eclipse plug-ins work would ebt o take a step back and have a look at vanilla Eclipse, and have a look at how CFEclipse installs (instructions here: http://trac.cfeclipse.org/wiki/InstallingCfeclipse). This'll give you an idea about how Eclipse plug-ins work, and they work exactly the same way if your Eclipse install happens to have CFB wrapped around it.
I'm not sure if that suggestion is any help, but it is how I would approach solving this problem if I had it.

I've been working with Netbeans on Mac OS for the past few months (in C++) but have now moved to Ubuntu 12.04. I'm compiling via command line and just using Netbeans as an editor because I like the code assistance and things like that that it has. Normally it seems people want to disable code assistance and highlighting but in my case, they are not working and I don't know why. All the boxes are checked under the Editor>Highlighting tab. When I deliberately misspell a variable it does not complain. Syntax highlighting works fine. Is there some other thing I need to install?
I apologize is this is a very simple thing but googling and searching docs has not helped since it seems everyone is concerned with the opposite problem.
Does NetBeans use clang for static code analysis? Maybe you need to install it.
I'm a college student majoring in computer engineering. I'm doing a c++ project in my comp sci class with 3 other people. Instead of zipping up our code and sending it to each other, what's the best software I can use for version control. I live on campus so setting up a server might be a problem (have to use university wifi). I've heard git and svn but I'm not super computer savy so command line things might confuse me.
Use a free online source repository, such as unfuddle.com, github.com, beanstalk.com. It'll let you use either SVN or git. Some force you to have an open source project (github), others let you make it private. Also,
both of these programs (SVN or git) have GUI front-ends, you don't have to use the command line.
I would still recommend git, simply because of the number of people working on the project, and because its good practice. But you don't have to work from the command line. There are graphical user interfaces to Git for both windows and linux.

I like Mercurial, which is similar in many ways to Git.
It has a GUI TortoiseHg, though I have never used it.
It has free hosting at BitBucket.
Plus, in a pinch, you can just run hg serve to share your code over the network, which can be handy.
Gotta counterbalance all those "Use Git" answers (:
I'm sorry to say this but if you're majoring in computer engineering and you're not computer savvy or command line things tend to confuse you, you may have chosen the wrong career path.
Edit: OK, so I guess... I use Unfuddle. Free Subversion hosting and you can use TortoiseSVN or some other similar GUI tool.
Failing that you can use a service like Dropbox or box.net to share the code in zip files or something...
Good luck.
I have a fairly large fortran90 project in Photran. I find that sometimes the editor just hangs or is very slow. Saving a file or using ctrl+/ for commenting lines seems to trigger this slowness. Any solutions to this?
I do have refactoring turned on as I find it useful to navigate, turning that off seems to help some. Any other solutions?
I am using eclipse-Galileo, photran 5.0 on linux OS. I have jdk 6 as my java environment. Will updating to Helios and a later photran make a difference? Is it easy to update to Helios?
Edit: Just checked TOP, the cpu is working at 100% when I am trying to save a file! And I even have the refactoring turned off.
Here is the answer to this question from the photran mailing list...
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/photran/msg01691.html
See the rest of the thread for more information.
The only solution for now seems to be to turn off refactoring.
I was able to reproduce the issues with Photran refactoring on and off when using the same workspace with different Eclipse versions. I think you have to remove your ~/.eclipse and ~/workspace/.metadata directories and have a fresh start. I have been using the latest Eclipse (Kepler) with Photran refactoring on/off without any issue.
I'll begin with an apology since I am new to c++ and maybe my questions make no sense.
I have a c# app, unfortunately it requires .Net framework to be installed on the machine.
I'd like to make a c++ application that will copy a .Net installer from a cd, and run the installer on quite mode.
The c++ app must be hidden, no console or what so ever, and also the most important thing is: it must run on a clean install of windows xp/
Please help me :)
I have no idea how to approach this, since I've never used c++ before.
P.S. (if it's possible to run a c# app that can do the above, saying how would be appreciated).
I tried googling but failed to get an answer
I dont know why you want to have a c++ app to launch the dot net installer. This can be achieved from within DOT NET env itself.
Add a Setup project to your current solution. It can detect installed .net framework and depending on your application's dependencies can offer to install one automatically.
However by default it will try to download the framework but if you intend to supply it on your CD you can configure it to pick up the installer from a local location as well.

...and I mean LITERALLY just beginning. As in, I just started earlier today.
All I want to do is figure out how to build and run a 'hello_world' code from my textbook, but the 'build and run' button will not light up. I have read through 'Xcode Features Overview' as well as checking out at some help forums, and it's clear that I need files in my template that I just don't have. I think the issue is that I'm starting with a blank template when I should be starting with a 'C++ tool' template. This seems like it should be incredibly simple, but when I hit file/New Project... assistant does not pop up, instead I get a window with very limited options including Application, Framework & Library, Application Plug-in, System Plug-in and Other. I feel like I can pick a lot of this up from help forums and reference documents but I definitely need to figure out how to successfully build and run a program first XD
P.S. I have Xcode 3.2.2 if it makes a difference
In the "New Project" window, select Application > Command Line Tool, and choose "C++ stdc++" from the Type drop down.
