Make Your ColdFusion Builder Extensions Auto-Update
Posted on Jan 25, 2010
My first article for the Adobe Developer Connection was released late today. It covers how to use a little library I created that is intended to make it easy to create extensions for ColdFusion Builder that auto-update (similar to how Mango auto-updates). At this point, it integrates with a URL you provide with the ide_config.xml and the zip or with a n extension hosted on RIAForge. The article covers the details of how to actual get this to work and, so far, I am pretty satisfied with how simple it is. There are some limitations to the implementation which I cover there mostly having to do with the fact that I just haven't had the time to add all the features I wanted yet.
However, I have actually given the project a name and project URL at RIAForge. I've decided to call the project Acme Boomerang for ColdFusion Builder to continue on my Looney Tunes theme and you can find it on RIAForge at acmeboomerang.riaforge.org. The zip is there (as well as on the article) and the code should be in SVN later this week. Please feel free to share your thoughts on the project as I plan to continue to expand the features.
