I want to help.

[Steven Durette]

It was suggested to me, by a friend today, that I change dictionary
files to fix the problems I'm having. We then went into the discussion
of whether cfeclipse was going to stick around.

My decision is that I want to help keep it around. I am willing to
help make CF9 dictionary files, railo files, etc.

I also have basic java programming skills and like troubleshooting.

I'm really old school (I started programming basic and COBOL and
people tease me that I had a pet dinosaur.) so I'm just getting into
stuff like svn and test driven development. I may have to ask a few
questions that are newbie style, but I learn quickly!

Let me know what I can help with.

Hey Steve!

That is awesome that you want to help!

One thing I would suggest is to join the dev group:

http://groups.google.com/group/cfeclipse-dev

I'm not really that good with Java personally so I just poke around
and help out where I can. I'm sure you'll be a great help and there is
definitely stuff to help out with.

You can see the current tickets at trac.cfeclipse.org. Right now
things are on lockdown with trac so you'll have to email Jim to get
access to work with tickets.

We are currently trying to get something together for a December
update. Nothing major right now, just some bug fixes to get things
working better. If you have google wave I can add you to a
conversation we have started about it.

As far as the dictionary files go, I have been handling a lot of the
updates for them when I see them come up. With regards to the CF9
dictionary, we are thinking of trying to get Adobe's permission to use
the dictionary file from CFBuilder since they use the same syntax. (At
least it seemed to work when I dropped it into the build ;) ). But I'm
not sure who we would talk to from Adobe for permission. I'm thinking
we could also use the dictionaries for the other versions too if we
can get the permission.

One thing that I would suggest doing to get started is to get your
development environment setup for it:

http://trac.cfeclipse.org/wiki/CheckingOutCFEclipse
http://trac.cfeclipse.org/wiki/BuildingCFEclipse

Once it is setup and working pick a bug from the trac server that you
feel connected to and have at it... ;)

Woo hoo!!! As someone else already suggested - I'd join the dev group
and if you have Wave the conversation there is going good.

Thanks for stepping up and offering to help out!!!

I could try to email Adam - might as well go straight to the source. :)

What exactly do we need? Is it the one .xml file or is it a group of files?
