Time for another update to my eclipse plugin. Today CFWheels Version 1.0 was released and I have added it to the plugin. So now the plugin provides skeleton applications for the following frameworks:
CFWheels
ColdBox
FuseBox
-Non XML
-Tradition / XML
FW/1
LightFront
Mach-II
Model-Glue
The update site to add into Eclipse is as follows: http://www.robertburns.me/update/
So last night I updated the plugin to now include skeletons for FW/1 and LightFront, lightweight frameworks developed by Sean Corfield and Brian Meloche respectively. I also have modified the update site so updates should now work correctly. So now the plugin provides skeleton applications for the following frameworks:
ColdBox
FuseBox
-Non XML
-Tradition / XML
FW/1
LightFront
Mach-II
Model-Glue

As an avid CFEclipse user I have always been interested in the inner workings of an Eclipse plugin and decided to throw my hat into the ring. I have created a CFML Frameworks Skeleton plugin. It allows you to create a new project within Eclipse based upon the skeleton applications for the various frameworks. So far I have added the skeleton applications from the following frameworks:
ColdBox
FuseBox
-Non XML
-Tradition / XML
Mach-II
Model-Glue
The update site to add into Eclipse is as follows: http://www.robertburns.me/update/
If you don’t mind, give it a shot and let me know if it is valuable plugin for the CFML community.
UPDATE
Need to say that I have completed a clean install of Snow Leopard and Java 1.6 seems to be working fine for my previous issues, but still think the post would be helpful in getting Java 1.5 installed if needed.
I heard earlier via twitter that some have had trouble with the ColdFusion 8 Installer on Apple’s latest version of OS X, Snow Leopard. I also ran into some issues with the Juniper Odyssey wireless access client which was related to this. Below is the Java 1.5 version from Leopard for use on Snow Leopard.
First grab the download here:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/80181/blog/java.1.5.0-leopard.tar.gz
Then, in terminal:
cd /tmp cp ~/Downloads/java.1.5.0-leopard.tar.gz . tar -xvzf java.1.5.0-leopard.tar.gz
Now lets move the extracted 1.5.0 folder to the system Java location:
sudo mv 1.5.0 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0-leopard
Now when Snow Leopard installed it made a symbolic link for 1.5.0 pointing to the 1.6 version, we need to clean this up:
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/ sudo mv 1.5.0 1.5.0-original sudo ln -s 1.5.0-leopard 1.5.0
At this point you should be able to go into your Java Preferences located at /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences and drag the J2SE 5.0 entry above the Java SE 6 entry in the Java Applications sections.
After arranging the order correctly the ColdFusion 8 installer should run fine.
I wanted to document my process for installing/upgrading to the latest version of Apache on a Mac OS X machine. The steps below will guide you through the process.
Lets get the latest bits from apache.org. We want to get the Unix source files, I usually get the .tar.gz file. The downloads are accessible at the following url:
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
Now, unpack the bits and open a terminal window and change directory to the location of the unpacked files. We will begin by configuring our install. I’ve included various options that I need, but you can find out what options are available at the following url:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/configure.html
CFLAGS="-arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk" \ ./configure --prefix=/Developer/Servers/apache_2.2.13 \ --enable-mods-shared=all \ --enable-cache \ --enable-disk-cache \ --enable-deflate \ --enable-expires \ --enable-headers \ --enable-info \ --enable-mime-magic \ --enable-proxy \ --enable-rewrite \ --enable-speling \ --enable-unique-id \ --enable-usertrack
Now lets make the install.
make
Now lets install.
make install
Now we can start the server.
sudo /Developer/Servers/apache_2.2.13/bin/./apachectl restart
All done.
