I see several references within Adobe’s documentation regarding the line debugger. Look here, for example:
Set up ColdFusion to use the Debugger
I see mention of various Eclipse-related settings that I need to make. For example (from above):
You can determine whether the Debugger server is configured correctly
in Eclipse by selecting Window > Preferences > ColdFusion > RDS
Configuration, and then clicking Test Debugger.
However, I see no mention of what I have to do to configure my eclipse installation to get this functionality. I assume there is an eclipse plugin I need to install. I’m hoping that they are not actually talking about CFBuilder when they simply say “eclipse”. I should point out that I’m using vanilla eclipse with the cfeclipse plugin (not CFBuilder).
From the CFEclipse site, I see this:
Debugging
Adobe released the ColdFusion 8 Extensions for Eclipse which
included a step debugger and RDS tools. This is no longer supported by
Adobe but still works in the latest CFEclipse versions. FusionDebug
is a commercial step debugger available from Integral.
Can this really be true that Adobe released a free debugging extension for CF8 and eclipse, but then broke it when they went to CF9 (and offered no free alternative)? Is there really no free way to do line debugging in CF9?
Assuming that is the case…. is there a free option for line debugging Railo? How about CF 10?
You need: ColdFusion Builder http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion-builder.html from Adobe, not CFEclipse.
You may install as a plugin to your existing Eclipse, or as standalone.
It can be used for free after evaluation period for free with limited features. I’m not sure if line-debugger is one of the free features.
