jjoney:
Happy to help! It took me a bit to get into the
Eclipse/CFEclipse mindset, that's for sure.
Here's what I did:
1. JRE already installed on my system
2. Install Eclipse 3.3:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
(I chose Eclipse Classic installer)
3. Install CFEclipse via the Eclipse (not manual install).
It's the instructional text on this page:
http://www.cfeclipse.org/index.cfm?event=page&page=download
Additionally, I would recommend installing Aptana. It's an
Eclipse plug-in for web development, specifically, Ajax work. It
has very good HTML, CSS, JS, and XML editors (also has PHP for when
you might need it).
Instructions to install Aptana via the Eclipse software
update system:
http://www.aptana.com/docs/index.php/Plugging_Aptana_into_an_existing_Eclipse_configuration
Try that and let me know how it goes. Also, what OS are you
running? RAM?
Cheers,
Craig
