Setting up a Remote Server (Virtual) and using CFC Generator Extension
I am trying to setup Coldfusion Builder to work with a Coldfusion Server setup in a virtual machine and then use the ORM CFC Generator. For some background I use Virtual Servers to better emulate my Test and Production environments because often times I am working in environments that a local install will not experience the issues found (e.g. Gov't where Dev is not the same as TEST or PROD, Corp enterprise, crazy server mappings, firewalls, etc....)
My Virtual Server is configured as follows (minor typing discrepencies should be ignored as just my jazz hands)
Virtual Box
Windows 2008 R2 Web Server Build (IIS 7.5). Server security is default (i.e. means user rights are restricted in certain directories)
IP Address access only (network IP of 10.0.0.11) , so no dns names
IIS 7.5 Configuration
1 site running at 10.0.0.11 port:80 (access via http://10.0.0.11)
virtual directory for CFIDE (physical location: C:\inetpub\wwwroot)
website (mysite) is located in C:\websites\mysite (this is because there are are websites setup and I never user inetpub\wwwroot)
Eclipse configuration
Eclipse custom build with CFB plugin
Project files located in D:\Projects\Workspace\mysite (this is the site that corresponds to the website on the virtual server)
There are no network shares to Webserver.
FTP is only way to move files from Eclipse to Virtual Server.
Coldfusion Server Settings (ignoring first page)
Remote Server Settings:
Port:2910
username: admin
password: *****
Document Root: C:\websites\mysite
Mappings (Empty)
Virtual Host Settings (Tried Empty and populated)
I have tried various configurations for the Server and Adobe CFC Generator extension and the only thing I have been able to accomplish is the "Create CFC" function. This was accomplished by using the following settings for install of CFC Generator
Map Server Root : D:\Projects\Workspace\mysite
Select Install Location: D:\Projects\Workspace\mysite\CFBExtension
once installed I FTP'd the Adobe CFC Generator
Then ran Create CFC and type this
C:\websites\mysite\nonorm (nonorm is a test directory)
files generated
Then I try the Create ORM CFC and nothing happens (no errors that I can tell)
So part of the question that the documentation does not really answer is how the Mappings and Virtual Host Settings impact Extension installation, if at all? How is Mozilla Browser used for extensions and how to verify is being used?
The various paths and what they should point to. If someone says should map to drive on Virtual machine or local machine should use C: drive to store files or paths should match or something along those lines, that person will be virtually flogged. 
Oh and don't say install CF locally (sorry that is a cop out and does not speak my development considerations)
I have seen various posts but have not found a real definitive explanation or anything.
Thanks for the help. Hopefully can get fully resolved and repeatable for others.
