If you have coldfusion local server installed on your machine you may in a few steps configure idea to put cfml pages to the web root directory and open browser on specefied page to view the result. (As it is the first version, I suppose it will be modified a lot).

Here they are:

1 Step: Add ColdFusion Facet

2 Step: Specify ColdFusion web root directory on your file system

By default on windows it is C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot

3 Step: Specify relative folder

You may use nested directories. If it does not exists it will be created under web root and all files under project will be copied there on compilation stage.

4 Step: Manage run configurations

Add ColdFusion Run Configuration

5 Step: Specify any page from your project as a start one

You may change server URL also (by default it is localhost:8500)

And you are done!

Attributes completion

If attribute has some predefined values, you'll have them in completion list.
For example cfqueryparam has cfsqltype which is always one of a set of possible values.

Working with variables

All functionality, which helps you to work with functions now available for variables inside the file. Auto completion, go to definition, usage highlighting

Go to definition on Ctrl+B

Usage highlighting Ctrl + Shift + F7

Auto completion Ctrl + Space

Live templates

Live template invoked after typing appropriate char sequence and pressing Tab button. They are used for faster writing mostly typical code fragments. For example if you type cfo and press Tab, then you'll have such code instead of cfo: <cfoutput>component</cfoutput>. Your cursor will be staying at the begining of component word. Typing anything will replace the word. Press enter and cursor will jump at the end of the construction.

You may see available templates in Settings/Live templates/cfml

Improving structure view

New feature will be available with a new version. Under the root of structure view there are two subtrees. One of them presents the cfml structure of the file and another - html. I suppose it should be useful.

Version 1.20

Structure view

Structure view on Alt + 7 for cfml file is shown. Functions definitions have special icons.

Version 1.19

For using all new features you need to create java module and put all your cfml files under source root. Functions resolving works within the file.

User defined functions completion on Alt + Enter (yet works only withing current file!)

Go to declaration on Ctrl + MouseClick

Usage search on Ctrl + Shift + F7

Errors and warnings are shown on function already defined and function name can't be resolved

Function rename
