One of the neat discoveries about ColdBox is the ColdBox plugin for Adobe ColdFusion Builder.

Here’s the problem… I couldn’t get the ColdBox Platform Extension installed in ColdFusion Builder with the existing instructions in the link above.   I suspect the older version of the ColdFusion Builder allowed you to do it from more than one location.

In any event, you have to Click on Window > Show View > Other > Extensions , and allow the extension pane to appear at the bottom of your screen (as my default installation shows).  Then, click on the (+), select the ColdBox Extension zip file and go through the normal setup.

The things it helps you handle include (Quoted from page above):

• Create handlers, plugins, interceptors and model objects with awesome wizardry
• Create an event handler and have it auto-generate the views, etc.
• Plugin Wizard
• Interceptor Wizard
• Model Object Wizard.. and more

ColdFusion builder is in late-ish beta and it’s great to see some of the plugins that we have for it already.  It’s nice to see such a tool evolving.

Happy ColdBoxing!
