in a rush

There is a new view that you can get from Adobe Labs that will add an RDS view to the eclipse IDE. It uses an updated version of ColdFusion MX, so it takes an update to your ColdFusion MX server before you add the plugin to eclipse.

The RDS view can be configured to point to any installation by using the RDS Configuation settings in the eclipse Preferences dialog.

The RDS plugin comes with all the old favorites plus the ability to generate an entire Flex 2 back-end! Did I studder? Yes, you can generate CFCs from ActionScript and ActionScript from CFCs. You can even generate CFCs from tables. This is not a “big whoop” kind of feature. I can tell it to create Active Records, Beans & DAO or even full integration with Flex Data Services.

Code generation is not one of my favorite things, but this does put you in a nice starting place.

This is all part of “Mystic”. You have to check this out!
