ColdFusion Builder Beta 2 on Linux
For those of you who have been running ColdFusion Builder on Linux, you may have noticed that the installer structure has changed since the last public beta, which means that my previous instructions will no longer work.This means we have to jump through some different hoops to get things to work this time around.
The steps are now the following:
- Download the Windows version of ColdFusion Builder
- Download my cfbuilder_builder.zip file and unzip it somewhere
- Unzip the windows installer like so: 'unzip cfbuilder_windows_public_beta2.exe'
- Under InstallerData/Disk1/InstData/ you will find Resource.zip
- Unzip Resources.zip
- Under Resource1/Z_/dist/ you will find _windows_fe4d6d02bcbb_zg_ia_sf.jar
- Copy _windows_fe4d6d02bcbb_zg_ia_sf.jar to the same directory you unzipped cfbuilder_builder.zip to (and should now have Rip.py and plugins.txt in it)
- Run 'python Rip.py', and wait.
- You should now have 2 folders in that directory 'plugins' and 'features', which you can now copy into your eclipse directory to do a plugin install.
As new versions of ColdFusion Builder become public, I will attempt to keep this script up to date.

Good details! Thanks for the clarification.
Let us hope having a real Linux support.

I was having a dispute with this very issue yesterday, and here you are solving it. Thank you!
Now to make sure it works with eclim... so far so good.

Thank you, I can't wait to try this out tomorrow. Also, eclim support would be excellent.

Thanks for doing this Mark! It works great so far. In order for me to run the python script I had to tell it where the python exec was located by adding the following line at the top of the file, otherwise it would throw and error:
#!/usr/bin/python
after that it ran flawlessly.
Thanks again!

I downloaded cf builder beta 3 and the python script didn't seem to work. I did get it work by simply opening up the _windows_blahblah.jar in archive manager and extracting the contents of /plugins and /features to my local eclipse install.
