CFEclipse RDS issue

Hi, not sure if this is the right forum or not. I thought I had previously seen a cfeclipse specific forum, but couldn't find it now.

Anyway, I'm trying to work through some tutorials online and using the CF plugin for Eclipse 3.7 all works fine until I want to use the RDS Viewer. It's simply not available. I think the issue maybe that the tutorial is for eclipse europa, which is 3.3 I think and CF8. I have eclipse 3.7.1 Indigo and CF9 installed on my development environment. I;ve tried to find the current CF plugin for eclipse indigo with no luck. Does anyone know where I can find this if it's actually available?

CFEclipse is not an Adobe product, so this ain't really the right place to ask question's beyond superficial ones, eg stuff we'd all encountered whilst using CFE during our development.

CFE's website is here: http://cfeclipse.org/.  The current downloads are clearly linked from there (indeed, just googling "cfeclipse" gives you the same).

On the other hand, you could give CFBuilder a go.  IMO it's moderately better than CFE. 

CFB 2.0.1 has just gone public beta, and it's an improvement over the release version of CFB 2.0 IMO.

Adam, thanks for the response. I realize Eclipse is not an adobe product, but the CF plugin for Eclipse is an adobe product, at least according to the eclipse website and the fact that the plugins are supposedly now available for download here on Adobe's site.

Also per this post on cfeclipse site: http://groups.google.com/group/cfeclipse-users/browse_thread/thread/75b81afe3ef6f7e4/a3f1a3becc5846c5?lnk=gst&q=RDS+Viewer#a3f1a3becc5846c5

I do have and use CF Builder 2(the trial version), but fowwling the tutorials on lynda.com that use Cfeclipse sometimes is not possible, since they seem to use tools specific only to cfeclipse. I've actually switched back and forth between cfbuilder and cfeclipse in the same series of tutorials, but have now come to an empass: hence this post.

I've searched all over cfeclipse.org for the right plugin download with no luck yet. Perhaps I'll keep trying.

ColdFusion Builder is an Adobe product, CFEclipse is not.

You can find the instructions to install the CFEclipse plugin into Eclipse here: http://trac.cfeclipse.org/wiki/InstallingCfeclipse
