Creating a project resentment?

How will Adobe persude users to use the project convention of CFBuilder, when some ColdFusion developers may not want to.  Is the File view an option?  Are there other alternatives?

Correct answer Ron_Stewart

If many users think this is a major hurdle then we might look at the possibility of creating a menu option in File->New and/or in File view to create new files without project.

Why reinvent this particular wheel when Eclipse's "Remote System Explorer" perspective (included in at least some of the stock Eclipse downloads from eclipse.org) already has this capability?

The new file view is also not an option as of now, because that also require you to select a project. RDS file view is an option to create file/folders without selecting a project.

Could CFBuilder automatically create projects such as Tasktop does?  It setups projects in the navigator view that represent the Desktop and My Documents.  Maybe during installation, CFBuilder would ask which drives/folders (mapped, local, etc) to create projects for.

Yes, that is certainly one option, but it would still mean that you will be working within Project when creating a new file/folder.

Note that you can easily create a project by promoting a folder to project (from context menu on the folder) in the File view. This creates a general project. You can convert that to CF project by applying CF Nature to it.
