Question

Do "ColdFusion 8 Extensions for Eclipse" work with ColdFusion 9?

I have not been able to get line debugging to work.  I have the developer edition of ColdFusion 9 running on Win7/Apache. I am following the instructions found at http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=usingdebugger_4.html.  When I try to test the connection or the debugger, the ColdFusion (JRun) server crashes.

Before testing the connection, my cfm pages are rendered correctly but after testing the connection I get:

  Server Error
  The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.
  Could not connect to JRun Server.

The error persists until I restart the "ColdFusion Application Server" service.

The logs do not provide too much info but I looks like the server is restarting when I try to use debugging.

    I tried the same early on when testing CFBuilder / CF9 but still using CFEclipse and CF8.  At the time they did not work.  I had hoped that Adobe would release new extensions for CFEclipse once CF9 was released.  After seeing the direction Adobe took with CFBuilder my guess is it will never happen.

    I remember reading an article from the CFEcplise team (specifically Mark Drew) a while back where he mentioned that the CFEcplise architecture differed significantly from that of CF Builder.  He stated that in many ways the CFBuilder architecture was better.  Of course he advised on the project so why shouldn't it be.

    The point is that Adobe may not be able to reuse what they have done in CFBuilder within CFEcplise which makes it much less likely they will actually continue to support the CFEcplise Pluggins.  But I am hoping I am wrong.
