MD: What are the best bits?
RR: In my mind Oliver's behind-the-scenes parser is the coolest. Without it the Outlines and filtering wouldn't be possible. Nor the right-click open-file. In fact, most of the cool stuff the plug-in can do is because of the parser (I call it the Tupman Parser, but I think I am the only one who calls it that)
In a close second is the Snippets. Spike took that hap hazard area by the horns and made something very very cool out of it. I use the snippet view with most of the plug-ins I use.
Aside from those the help features are nice. Spike's and Mark's F1, the hover help, and the return types in code insight all come in helpful on a daily basis.
MD: What is coming up next?
RR: Oliver will be the man for that one, but I think we are focusing on UML integration, better dictionary and user customizing tools, and the every present bug fixes.
MD: Will it support fusebox/MachII?
RR: I am of the opinion that fusebox and MachII should be separate plug-ins. After all you can use Fusebox in PHP, and not everyone who uses ColdFusion cares about frameworks anyway. Oliver will have the final say as to weather framework support is built into the CFEclipse core.
As an aside, I have been toying around with a fusebox3 plug-in, and I know Spike is working on some MachII tools - so we'll see.
MD: What is your favorite editor apart from eclipse?
RR: Oh so many... JEdit has a special place in my heart as I used the editor component in the Treebeard XSLT IDE and my on-line Java editor.
On Windows servers I am forced to deal with, I stick on Notepad2.
For Mac OSX I like SubEthaEdit for random file editing.
On anything Unix when I need to edit a system file I use vi, and to write any applications (where I have no GUI or Eclipse is not installed) I default to Emacs.
MD: Which other plugins do you use?
