Coldfusion Builder Updates?

I'm guessing that Help>Check for Updates is just a tease. It seems like the only way to get ColdFusion Builder 2 Update 1 is to download the trial, uninstall my current version, and install the new version? Is this correct? Or is there a better way?
Thanks.

Adding to what Konatala helpfully offers here, I want to speak to Michael’s wondering why the Help>”check for updates” seems “just a tease”. It’s worth keeping in mind that CFBuilder is not something that Adobe built entirely on their own. Rather, CFB is actually an extension of the underlying open source Eclipse project (and also has components of the commercial Aptana plugin for Eclipse).
So many menus and other features you’d find in CFB are not therefore necessarily “from Adobe” and “related to” CFBuilder specifically, but are rather there because they are features of Eclipse, or Aptana. This “check for updates” is an example. It’s related to updates to Eclipse itself, as well as plugins that use that mechanism to be updated.
But beyond that, one might reasonably ask “ok, well why then does it not at least offer updates to CFB itself, even if in addition to other Eclipse/Aptana features?” I can’t answer that. It is unfortunate, and I’ve not seen any good explanation for that. Maybe someone from Adobe might see this someday and offer a thought.
Hope that’s helpful.

ColdFusion Builder Update 1 issue on Mac

If you are running ColdFusion Builder Plugin inside Flash Builder 4 on Mac, and you check for updates and install CFB Update 1, make sure you close FB4 before installing the update. If not, it will blow up your CFB plugin in FB4 and you'll have to reinstall CFB.
Instead of using the check for CFB updates inside FB4/Eclipse,I had to:
1) close FB4.
2) Run Adobe Updater outside FB4
3) Download CFBuilder Update 1 and install it.
4) Then re-open FB4 again

If you are running Panther, you already have that firmware update. No iMac PowerPC can run 10.2 or later without the most current firmware on their system.

How do I add/update/delete data using ColdFusion Builder 3?

I feel like this is a really simple and stupid question and should be easy to figure out, but I can't.
I am relearning ColdFusion after 12 years out of the IT field. I am using the ColdFusion 9 Getting Started:Volume 1 book. In Chapter 7 it states that I need to edit the Application.cfc file so that I can edit the database rather than just selecting from the database. I can't seem to find anything related to that file in any search. In my ColdFusion 11 Administrator I have set this mySQL database to be able to be edited, but ColdFusion Builder 3 doesn't seem to allow any editing of the tables. I have not had much luck searching for help regarding this on the internet either. My biggest problem so far is getting ColdFusion Builder to talk with my mySQL database properly so I can actually get on with relearning ColdFusion and writing code. Frustrating!!

I do have ColdFusion 11 Administrator installed. When I go to Data and Services there and open the datasource (OWS) that I want to connect to and query off of, and go to Advanced Settings, I show that the following are selected:
SELECT
CREATE
GRANT
INSERT
DROP
REVOKE
UPDATE
ALTER
Stored Procedures
DELETE
If, in ColdFusion Builder 3, I open the RDS Query viewer and write the following basic update query (Server: default:local; Datasource: OWS):
insert into directors(FirstName, LastName)
Values ('Benjamin', 'Forta');
I get the following RDS error message:
java.sql.SQLException: Can not issue data manipulation statements with executeQuery().
According to the book and some information I have seen online, the SQL Query Tool, for security's sake, by default allows execution of SELECT statements, but no other SQL statements. According to the book, to change this behavior I need to edit the Application.cfc file in the ows/sql directory. I have to change the THIS.select_only flag from the default of yes to no and save the file. I cannot find this file anywhere. I have seen an application.cfm, but I think this is different that what they want because I can't find anything in that file that says THIS.select.

ColdFusion Builder lacking bug fix updates

I have to say that since the product was officially launced, we had one small update that provided a few fixes.
The question I need to ask is what about these more serious bugs that are stopping this product from being great?
There are about 30+ bugs listed on the bug tracker that have been there for over 18 months that are still major problems today, some of these I consider major and should be pushed to getting fixed as quickly as possible.
The number one pet hate of mine is wasting time with an Application that doesn't work correctly, so how does this affect ColdFusion Builder?
Lets look at setting up of servers on ColdFusion Builder, this has got to be the number one most used and needed feature of this product and yet it doesn't work and has so many reported bugs that I would have thought that these would be fixed by now.
If one is lucky, you can setup a server and start and stop this from within Builder. However I can tell you that even when you have it setup, it will stop working as well.
Lets look at what I have setup at the moment.
I have had ColdFusion 9 and 9.01 installed and still donot mange to be able to start and stop the server.
I now have a mutli server version of ColdFusion 9.01 locally, and was able to get this to work briefly. And now it no longer works, with no changes to any of the settings. Don't get me started on remote servers, these are even worser trying to get working.
And even if you do make changes to the server setup in builder, you have to close and restart the Application. This is not acceptable to me either.
I could go on about how much of a hit and miss this feature actually is.
So the question is if this a feature that people would want to buy this product, why is there no fixes for the problems that are still there after 18 months?

Yes they where, they were reported in ColdFusion 7 beta program, ColdFusion beta program and ColdFusion 9 beta program.
When it is reported that many times, and nothing is done what sort of confidence do you think this gives us users of the product?
During the ColdFusion 9 beta program, the cfgrid had many problems that had been reported in CF8 beta program and was again reported and we had been told it was fixed. Did it get released with the initial 9.0 version? No it didn't, did it get released with the 9.01 beta program? No it didn't.
Again what sort of confidence does this give people in this product?
I even fought hi and low with Adobe to get these grid problems fixed, not only did they break more things but it was not even backward compatible. Evey person I spoke to refused to fix it, becuase I did not have paid support. This even went as far as Adam, and Kevin Lynch because I got feed up with the fact that 9.0 got released and it broke our application to the point when we fixed one thing it broke another, to the point that we could not get at the source of ColdFusion to fix the problem.
Each and every time we were told there was a work around, and no work around was ever produced.
When 9.01 was released was it fixed? No it wasn't, in fact it was even worse. And the answer again from Adobe was that unless we have paid support it will not get fixed.
So Ray the answer is very simple, Adobe is not interested in providing more patches / hot fixes past the intial ones they have always released. Even it it effects people from moving upto the latest version...
I can provide many examples of emails from employees of Adobe, that say the same thing no paid support no fix. Now we have to wait another 2 years and wait to see if these problems get fixed, and to me I am sorry that is not an issue that one should have to endure. When talking to people about ColdFusion the same problems exist each and every time, the lack of support and problems that never get fixed puts people off from keeping on buying the product and they end up moving on.
I have been in two companies that began their days as ColdFusion developers, and both companies ended up moving on because of these problems I have outlined. I can understand a company like Adobe needing to make money, but at the end of the day they will continue to loose money because people will look at other options that are better supported, have more outfixes and updates.
The amount of updates that Microsoft release in 1 year is maybe like the same amount Adobe/Macromedia/Allaire have released in 15 years.
Do't take this the wrong way, but the debugger is buggy as hell. It works when it wants to and even to the point when you do get it working it actually gets slower and slower each time you run it. This has been a problem for now 6 years in this product and it has never gotten any attention, now that CF builder utilises this feature, I would have hoped that these bugs and problems got fixed. But they never did.
Every major release is about throwing new features into the product, but when it comes to issues like this do any of the previous versions that have these problems get fixed? No they don't, and even the current major release is not fixing any of these previous issues either.
The problem is one needs to draw the line, and stop putting features into a product that Adobe can't continue to support.
And till that changes people are going to continue to get rather annoyed with Adobe, and the more they get annoyed the more customers Adobe end up loosing. I don;t make my comments very lightly when I do make them, and after 15 years I have seen it all with ColdFusion and the one thing that never changes is the lack of bugs in older features that ever get fixed.
Sorry for the rant, but this is something that Adobe HAVE to address and address sooner than later. I know of 3 more companies that are moving away from ColdFusion, for more reasons than what I have outlined here.

ColdFusion Builder 3 Settings Reset on Restart

I've downloaded the ColdFusion Builder 3 trial and am experiencing some odd and very annoying behavior.
I've customized some code editor text font and color settings. I've added an entry to the CF Servers panel for an instance of ColdFusion 10 running inside a VMWare virtual server on my laptop.
When I restart Eclipse, all the code customizations I've made are reverted back to the default install settings and the entry in my CF Servers panel is gone.
I've been an IntelliJ user for well over a year, but in doing much more cfscript-based development the CF Plugin for IntelliJ is proving to be a hindrance so I thought I'd give CFB 3 a try and see if there were any improvements over CFB 2. However, I can't take this kind of behavior. Hopefully someone can give me a setting or someone else has seen this before and can give me an idea of where to start looking.
I have CF Builder installed as a plugin into Eclipse Kepler 64-bit for Mac. I added the CF Builder update site and have updated to CF Builder 3.0.0.290000. I also previously installed as the standalone version with no additional plugins and experienced the same behavior.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

Milan...
My apologies for taking so long to get back to this. I just did some testing tonight of your instructions as well as those by Kaif above.
Firstly, I installed ColdFusion 10 locally on my Mac. I added the local server to the CF Servers panel successfully. After restarting Eclipse, the localhost entry remained in the CF Server panel.
Secondly, I followed your instructions to make a new profile and make my font/coloring customizations in it. I restarted Eclipse and my font and color selections were maintained (through 3 restarts). I noted that my newly created profile was selected in Preferences after each restart.
I then added a remote CF 10 server to the CF Servers panel successfully (as noted by the panel telling me that the server was running and being able to launch the CF Admin from within Eclipse). At this point there were 2 entries in my CF Server panel--localhost and the one remote server that lives inside my VM. I restarted Eclipse and when it came back up, only the localhost server remained. I might add that the VM has ColdFusion 10 installed in "multi-instance" mode and that the remote server instance that I added to the CF Servers panel was one of 4 CF instances configured and running inside the VM.
All the while, my font and color customizations have remained the way I set them.
So, it appears as though we're down to just one bug relating to remote server registrations in the CF Servers panel.
I saw that another user was reporting something similar in this thread: ColdFusion Builder 3 RDS and Remove Server settings reset on each restart so apparently it's not just me.
Thanks to you and everyone else for all the ideas and troubleshooting help thus far. At least at this point I think I might be able to use this for day-to-day coding, even though I really want the remote server system to work correctly so I can use the step debugger feature again.

ColdFusion Builder plugin console

I just don't understand what I am doing wrong here. I updated ColdFusion builder as a plugin installed in 3.5.1. I also have Flex 3 /subclipse and a few other plugins installed. When I restart my localhost or want to view orm sql logged to the console, nothing appears. After a restart I get this.
[localhost]:(12/18 at 09:54:11) Server is available. Getting server settings from Server
[localhost]:Error(12/18 at 09:54:12) Unable to fetch server mappings.
[localhost]:Error(12/18 at 09:54:12) Unable to get the log directory.
On my laptop (at home and work) I have Builder running as standalone and this works fine on both of them. What can I do to fix this? I really like logging info to the console.

Can you try to remove the server settings and put them in again. (This worked for me once, but it was in beta 2. Now running Beta 3 so I cannot imitate your scenario to validate it as a fellow user. )

How do I remove this stupid *&^$ Tasktop program from my ColdFusion Builder 2?

I do not need it, I do not want it, and somehow I accidentally installed it. I can find no uninstall button, it's not in my Vista Programs and Features to uninstall, and I"m tired of waiting for it during application load and getting in the way of my shortcuts and whatnot. I just want it gone but I can find no reference anywhere to take this stupid program out.

RLS,
Are you running the latest version of CF Builder by any chance (2.0.1)? If not, you might want to download and install it. It actually uninstalls the previous version of CF Builder (2.0.0) and installs the new version (becuase 2.0.1 uses a newer major build of Eclipse). This will allow you to start with a "clean slate" when it comes to which add-ons are installed, but it should maintain all of your project settings.
Another idea, although this one could be pretty dangerous. If you feel comfortable trying this, close CF Builder and:
Make a copy of your \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe\ColdFusion Builder 2\features and \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe\ColdFusion Builder 2\plugins folders as a backup.
Make copies of \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2\configuration\org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator\bundles.info and \Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2\configuration\org.eclipse.update\platform.xml as backups.
Browse each of those folders from step 1 and find any folders and files with "Tasktop" in the name. Delete just those files and folders.
Open \Program Files\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2\configuration\org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator\bundles.info in a text editor and remove lines that have references to Tasktop.
Open \Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2\configuration\org.eclipse.update\platform.xml in a text editor and remove lines that have references to Tasktop.
Launch CF Builder.
If CF Builder wont' run after that, revert the folders and files to the copies you made in steps 1 and 2 above.
Good luck,
-Carl V.

Coldfusion Builder beta 3 and Subclipse

Has anyone experienced problems with their working copy getting corrupted? The combination of coldfusion builder and subclipse plugins for my Eclipse 3.5.1 keeps causing me to have checksum and other errors when trying to update or commit. Am I the only one with these issues or are other having them, too?

Where do I download ColdFusion Builder 2?

I have several licenses for ColdFusion Builder 1 and I also have upgrade licenses for ColdFusion Builder 2. I have a new team member who needs to download ColdFusion Builder 2 to make use of this license. Now that ColdFusion Builder 3 is release, all of the downloads links I have been able to find point to the new version. Where can I find a download link for the previous version for which I have a valid license? Surely there is an archive download somewhere, but I cannot find it.
Thanks,
Eric

New Coldfusion Server Setup in Flashbuilder and Coldfusion Builder not working

I have not found the combination for adding a new Coldfusion Server in Flash Builder 4.7 or Coldfusion Builder 2.01 with Coldfusion 10. I am running windows 7 64bit. on IIS 7. Coldfusion 10 is running fine.
All was well with Coldfusion 9 Flash Builder 4.6 and Coldfusion Builder 2.0.
Local Server Settings for CF9 were
Server Home C:\Coldfusion9
Document Root C:\inetpub\wwwroot
Version: 9.0.x
Now as soon as I put in C:\Coldfusion10 or C:\Coldfusion10\cfusion I get an error "Server home is not valid".
Any hints on getting this going.

Hi Jeff,
Can you let us know the directory location for wwwroot on your system.

That does not work. As soon as I put C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion in the Server Home I get the error Server Home Invalid. I have uninstalled Coldfusion 10 and re-installed added the latest updates. Coldfusion 10 is working fine running on IIS 7.
Not necessarily. As soon as you select the "cfusion" location, it would automatically pick the wwwroot location.

With Coldfusion 10 , since you have C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot. as the Document root will this only work if you install the included web server?

ColdFusion Builder Beta trial has expired message - what to do?

I downloaded the Beta 2 yesterday and attempted to install it (I had already been using the original ColdFusion Builder Beta for months). I couldn't tell if it actually changed anything because in the About section, it didn't mention Beta 2 anywhere. Today, I received a "your trial has expired" message while writing code, but I could still modify code and save to my servers (color-coded formatting had been deactiviated).
I uninstalled Adobe Coldfusion Builder, then re-installed the Beta 2, but now when I launch the software I receive the "trial expired" message. I'm using a Windows XP machine.
In the end, I no longer can use Adobe ColdFusion Builder beta, nor can I purchase the actual software (which I plan on doing).
Does anyone have any advice / suggestions? I need SFTP support, so I guess I could go back to Aptana, but I'd prefer to have ColdFusion Builder.

Hi,
The Public Beta 2 is not supposed to expire now.
If you haven’t already updated to the latest release(Public Beta 2), you might notice that public beta 1 expired on October 15th. You can download the latest public beta 2 directly from Adobe Labs at:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/coldfusionbuilder/
So I would request you to first check if you have the latest bits.
However if your Public Beta 2 also says 'expired' try doing this.
1. Uninstall the current version.
2. Delete the location of your CFB install, By default it will be Program Files/Adobe/Adobe ColdFusion Builder . So you will have to take a back up of any project files and delete this folder.
3. Re-install the latest bits from : http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/coldfusionbuilder/
Note: For Eclipse install use the -clean option.
Do let us know if this doesn't help.

ColdFusion Builder 3

I was editing a JS file wanted to write a try catch. I started writing the catch part first. Then the try part. But, added the parentheses. I don't know what I was thinking. But, it locked up ColdFusion Builder 3 to the point that I had to restart my VM of Windows 2008 R2 64-bit.
try () { } catch ( e ) { }

Please add galileo update site http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo and then install mylyn.

ColdFusion Builder 2 RDS Debugging error.

I am running a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit system with ColdFusion 9.01 (Developer Edition). I just downloaded the trial version of ColdFusion Builder and cannot get the debugger to work. I have followed all the instructions concerning making sure RDS is enabled in ColdFusion (which it was for my old CFEclipse version and some Flex apps). I've done everything I can think of for configuring CF Builder, but I cannot get the debugger to work. When I go to RDS configuration in CF Builder and click "Test Connection," A popup states that "Test connection was successful." Since I'm using IIS and not the CF built-in web server, I configured the Server Information using port 80. However, when I click "Test Debugger," I get an error: "Test debugger failed. The debugger server is currently listening on port 51,367..." So, I change the port to 51367. The connection tests successfully again, but when I test the debugger, I get another error: "Test debugger failed. An RDS connection was established but the ColdFusion RDS line debugger could not be contacted. The server gave the following message: -1: Could not initialize class coldfusion.logs.CFlogs." I cannot find any reference to that error message using Google, or searching Adobe. When I click on the "bug" drop-down and then click the name of "Debug server," I get a similar, but different and longer error:
Unable to connect to the RDS server 'ColdFusion'.
Ensure that the server is currently running and that line debugging and RDS are enabled. You may also need to check your RDS connection settings in Eclipse to ensure that they are correct.
Error message:
-1:Error connecting to JVM for debugging at localhost:5005. Could not attach the VM at port 5005. You must specify this debugger port in the JVM settings of you application server, for example: -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005. You will also need to make sure that another debugger is not currently connected to the CF JVM at the same port (5005).
Root cause ->
Connection refused: connect
I check in the jvm.config file and those settings are already there. So, does anyone have a clue about any of this? I've run all possible CF and JRE updates, I've not only stopped and restarted the ColdFusion service several times, but I've even rebooted my system. This should be a simple process.

CF Line Debugger is enabled. every thing is configured perfectly. This is a error which I've never seen before.
Actually, I am a IT Manager in a Software company and we need to setup a remote CF9 Server for development and testing with debugging. This is a centralize server for my team to work and test. Currently we are working using dreamviewer and every thing is going fine with this tool but as you know there is no good debugger tool in DW so we have decided to work in CFBuilder 2. Below you will find the jvm config in my CF Server.
