How to use snippets in CF Eclipse (Coldfusion for eclipse)
Snippets in Cf Eclipse can be a powerful way of both reducing the typing you do, and also making sure that code you produce is consistent, and error free.
Not just a collection of bits of code, the dynamic snippets in cfeclipse allow you to speed up repetitious tasks while ensuring accuracy and minimising test time.
Taken from http://www.cfeclipse.org/features.cfm
“The CFEclipse snippets implementation allows you to use dynamic Homesite-style snippet variables of the form $${variable:default} within the snippets. When you insert a snippet of this type you are prompted for the values you would like to use.”#
Used well this can save you an enormous amount of time and effort.
To load snippets to your CFEclipse perspective go to:
“Window -> Show View -> Aptana standard views”.
Select “Snip Tree View” and click OK.
A full resource on the power of CFEclipse snippets can be found here:
