100+ Downloads for CFProperty Inspector ColdFusion Builder Extension

I made it past the 100+ downloads barrier for the ColdFusion Builder (pre-release) IDE with my CFProperty Inspector Extension. Thanks to all who've downloaded it and found it useful. Not bad numbers (10% download to view ratio) considering the IDE is not going to be released for another month or more.

Keep an eye open for more updates on the future as requests come in for the next version of the extension which allows you to write cfproperty tag meta data to existing components.

cf_PropertyInspector Bolt Extension Released!

Version 1 of the cf_PropertyInspector ColdFusion Builder/Bolt Extension for your IDE has been released on riaforge (pending).

Features Include:
For ease of Flex Integration, CFProperty tags are needed to have your methods available to ActionScript classes. Also complex webservices need this metadata defined for them. With existing components already created, having to go back in and add in all these cfproperty tags for all your 'accessors' is a pain. How about just right clicking -> 'Inspect CFC' and be done with it?? Best used if components exist under your webroot.

Features:
- Searching subdirectories
- Alpha sorting properties
- Wverwriting/keeping existing properties
- Lower case properties
- Exclusion of Methods (i.e getInstance, getBinaryNull etc)


Version 2 of this application will include the following:
- Backups of cfc's before modification
- Fine Tune properties before wizard completes
- Mapping support if your components are not located under your webroot.


Requirements:
ColdFusion 8+
ColdFusion Builder (Beta 2+) Build: 240677

Download NOW Available on riaforge.





















Final Result!

Update to CFPROPERTY Inspector Utility

I implemented a new UI for the CFPROPERTY Inspector as well as small bug fixes etc.

I used the JQuery tab UI which helps the flow of the steps being that the process is just one large form. Here are the new screen shots.

CFProperty Inspector on RiaForge

I've released the CFPROPERTY Inspector on riaforge and google code for those interested in it.

This Utility is designed to introspect components and auto-create CFPROPERTY tags based on the function meta data.
Specify the mapping to your components, and choose which cfc's you want to have CFPROPERTY Tags defined on them as well as what properties of your components that you wish to have CFPROPERTY tags defined for. (for assisting in getting your components well defined for Flex integration etc.)
