I hope they sort the utf-8 BOM issue. Eclipse does not retain them which means you have to add cfprocessingdirective to everything. Even better is if Centaur complier default is utf-8 - who needs anything else anyway.

I can't see anyone mentioning price, Adobe labs mentions:

"We are currently targeting the commercial release for some time in 2009."

So I guess that means it won't be free, I wonder how much the product will be though as that will certainly effect the uptake as compared to users of the already excellent cfeclipse.

I also wonder what this will mean for the continued development of CFEclipse. I've heard some people imply that Mark Drew taking the reigns of the Reactor project means he's out of the IDE business. Although that wouldn't stop others from picking up the mantle....

They should of just hired Mark Drew to continue to work on CFEclipse. The guy's given so much to the community and deserves some recognition and support from the mothership.

@tony: Maybe they did make him an offer.

I'm excited about this! Now if they offer an education discount like they do for Flex Builder, I'm totally in!

This is great news. It is good to see Adobe support the Eclipse environment. Let's hope both Bolt and Flex 4 support the latest version of Eclipse and Eclipse plug-ins. One disappointment I have with Dreamweaver CS4 is the fact that it doesn't support the latest Subversion binaries. This is an issue when one is using multiple environments, like Subversive (in Eclispes) and TortiseSVN.

Also, let's hope it is around Homesite pricing and not Flex Pro pricing.

Any Eclipsed based IDE?

It would be nice if Adobe was to create one Eclipsed based IDE for:

Flex, Air, Coldfusion, and what-ever else.

Code Name: Jungle!

I'm hoping that they will support Dreamweaver templates in Bolt... Something I haven't figured out how to get CF Eclipse to do.

@Grover: Yes, Bolt is Eclipse based.

@Akira: Did you look at Snippets in CFE?
Akira said on 11-20-2008 at 3:46 PM #
Ah, how handy. Thanks Ray.

It doesn't respect the TemplateBegin... stuff but at least the templates are there now. :)

I saw the sneak peek of bolt at max this week, it made me feel warm and fuzzy.
I am a flex developer and come from java land, I refuse to leave eclipse.
I want bolt now!
