Testing CFEclipse

Once Eclipse has been restarted, verify that the CFEclipse “perspective” is available by creating a new ColdFusion project and sample CFML files. This may be accomplished as follows:

Launch Eclipse, and open a new project by going to File > New > Project...

Within the Project Selection Wizard, choose “CFML Project” Under CFEclipse, then hit Next.

Finally, give the project a name, such as “Test2,” and hit Finished. Do not select any other projects to reference.

You may be asked to open the project using the CFEclipse “perspective.” This essentially loads the ColdFusion user-interface, rather than the default Java programming IDE interface. Choose yes, and click the “Remember by decision” check box:

At this point, you should be able to right-click on your project, select new, and choose ColdFusion files, such as CFM or CFC files:

Upon typing your CF code, your editor should now have context-sensitive ColdFusion tag-completion, as well as ColdFusion documentation references:
