Disclaimer: In 2007, sys-con closed down the ColdFusion Developer's Journal, and I wanted to post all the articles I had written to this site. I started, but got distracted on other things. I'm performing a purge of my digital archives and found the articles. At this point they are posted here more for my own archival purposes than because anyone is longing to read them.

This article is being reposted in accordance to my contract with sys-con. I had them change the default contract so that I could post articles on my personal site.

Before CF Builder existed, a lot of CF Developers used CFEclipse. It was a free IDE and much more lightweight than Dreamweaver. This article focuses on my own experiences switching.
