Next Release?

[Randy]

So, it's been a while since anything new has come out with CFEclipse.
So, what if we start working a bit more concentrated on the next
release?

Are there any things especially that we should focus on for the next
release? And what is a good date to plan on the next release? Dec 1?
See what things we can get done in the next month?

I'm not really any good at the plugin development, but I'll try to
help out with testing and anything that I can and try to learn more. I
know that the occurrence marker needs a little bit of tweaking (I
believe that is still fairly new?!). Also there are a lot of tickets
we can work on and try and hammer out.

Also, as far as a little longer planning there have been several times
that people have mentioned trying an actual parser instead of the
homegrown one, so it might be a good thing to target some resources
into a branch that is based off a different parser and see how it
works out?

What are your thoughts?

Sounds like a good idea. :)

Always good to try and get some bug fixes done, yes?

I'm happy to look at anything involving regex, or anything that's not
too involved/elaborate.

I've actually been thinking of going slightly further than that -
having a distinct CFML modeller project.

The idea being a module that would certainly be integrated into CFE,
but also could used on its own - e.g. it's potentially something
useful to framework authors, effectively a CfmlParse to produce a
node-based model of a specified script (similar to what XmlParse
does).

Eitherway, I have been playing with ANTLR recently, though a lack of
spare time means I've not made much progress so far - but I do have
some time off work coming up, so hopefully I can accelerate a bit. :)

I am definitely interested in getting all this in place - I encounter
problems daily that would be trivially solved with a good
parser/modeller. There's so much potential for what can be done with
it.

Seriously tho, I'll do what I can. Maybe the cfscript-based component
recognition-ish stuff?
