I blogged about the new frameworks support in CFEclipse two days ago, and now it is ready for download. It is still in development so use it with care, but if you want to play with it, grab it from the site. Check out the screen shot below:

This is what the tool automatically picked up from my RIAForge project.

Can you not browse your included config files with this plugin? For example, your config/admin.xml and config/project.xml. I moved one of my includes back into ModelGlue.xml and was able to browse it in the plugin, which is great, but I like my separated configs. Have you noticed this too?

Nope, you can't yet. I'll ping Mark. You can edit the view files though.

Hmmm, it doesn't work for me.
I did the update and have the Frameworks Explorer.
But it says I have no projects configured, and when I try to configure, I get some kind of Null pointer exception error.

Did you have to do any configuration to get it working for you? If so, please tell.

Thanks,
Ali

Did you not have any projects yet? The _best_ thing you can do is ping Mark though.

I have projects defined, and I can view them in my regular Navigator.

But when I click inside the Frameworks Explorer and right click on the single node in there, and try and config, I don't get any options. I even tried dragging a project from my Navigator to the Frameworks Explorer, but no luck.

I left a message on Mark's blog, but no reply, last time I checked.

All I can suggest is waiting for Mark. Sorry. It just worked for me. Remember its a one man team there. :)

FYI, I figured it out.

I needed to right-click on the config file for my project
(e.g. fusebox.xml) and the select "Set as config file".

Then when I double-clicked it to open it, it automagically
appears in the Frameworks explorer view.

It works beautifully, a very handy tool.
