FTP in Eclipse -- Hooray!

Can't believe it, just can't believe! All this while I've been finding all kinds of ways to try and work with ColdFusion content on FTP servers, but there is a way built right into Ecplise to connect to an FTP site!

Setting JVM options on JBoss for ColdFusion 8 debugging

Today I wanted to give ColdFusion 8 debugging a try.

So, I started followed the instructions on how to setup the enviornment for debugging. After installing ColdFusion 8 extensions for Eclipse, I went to enable debugger in ColdFusion Administrator. The CF administrator instructs that:

You must specify this debugger port in the JVM settings of your application server, for example: -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005, and restart the server.

If I was using JRun, I know that these options can be added in the jvm.config file.

But as I use JBoss, it took me little bit to figure out where I need to make these changes.

AnyEdit: useful plugin for code formatting in Flex Builder / Eclipse

Over the past few days I've been searching for a Eclipse/Flex Builder plugin that would let me trim the unnecessary spaces left at the end of lines in the code that I work on.

I found a very nice extension called AnyEdit that performs the task of trimming extra space very well. I've been using it for a few hours now and it's worked very nicely.

AnyEdit can trim trailing spaces on any text-based file type editable in Eclipse/Flex Builder Another task that the script performs very well is the ability to convert tabs in to spaces (and vice versa).

It also has some other nice features, like case conversion, chars to HTML entity conversion, etc. You can download the extension from the AnyEdit site. It's a must-have.
