Being a ColdFusion stalwart, I feel kind of dirty (or maybe I’ll just need counselling) asking…
Can anyone point me at a good ASP/ASP.NET plugin for Eclipse? I’m helping out with a little skunkworks project at work on the subject of Topic Maps and currently, it’s coded in old school ASP.
We’ll eventually update it, and maybe port it to PHP, or some such, but in the meantime, I’m stuck with ASP and need to code (and learn the language).
Advice?
Try the EclipseColorer here:

And if you don’t have it already the Zend Eclipse plugin is pretty nice as well for PHP:

I too would really like to see an eclipse plugin for classic ASP (not Asp.net).
Me too dee… unfortunately these comments come up before a link to any plug in which leads me to believe that if someone is going to code it, it’ll probably be one of us and I haven’t started yet…
Here it is two years later than the first post. Your best bet for programming ASP.net is probably the free Visual Web Developer Express Edition from Microsoft.
If you still aren’t satisfied, check out this list of alternatives to Visual Studio on the dotNetCoders website.
hehe Two years?
thats how long it took me to get hold the basics of asp! nah lolz, thanks for the alternate links tho its good to know they are around
Still… It’s no Eclipse plug in.
I myself am not a ASP fanatic, but i happen to know someone who is and i took a look (ftw) at the eclipse colorer and i can say, it quite rocks, if you open a ASP file it automaticely makes a PHPlike “explorer” for ASP.
Quite the opposite of what i expected of it
Jelie, you mentioned the following, “but i happen to know someone who is and i took a look (ftw) at the eclipse colorer”. I am wondering what the actual tool was they your friend used for eclipse to view ASP code?
Thanks
Wow, that’s quite some time ago. This is the link of the plugin I was talking about:

This colorer is a plugin for the Eclipse IDE

Icons make for good interfaces
Never thought I’d prefer a feature of WiMP over iTunes, especially now I’m a dyed-in-the-wool Mac convert. However, good design is good design no matter where it occurs. Rich Ziade at Basement.org has a post discussing the intelligent use of iconography (more or less) as an aid to visual understanding and boosting of user experience. Smart stuff.
Loving CFMX again
We seem to have resolved the majority of our issues with CFMX server stability. A combination of settings and deployments was the answer. Here’s what we did: update our Oracle datasources to use a new Oracle driver jar file, ojdbc14.jar; and modify our DSN settings for those datasources to maintain connections. We had previously set this to off on some well-informed advice. Prior to making these changes, we were seeing upwards of 80 database connection issues per minute in the application.log. Ouch! Making these two little changes seems to have brought about a quantum change in stability. The paired servers we have delivering out sites which were previously ultra-flakey are now pretty much rock solid. The whole thread count issue we were seeing has pretty much gone away (see below for a little more discussion) with thread count still increasing under load, but then gracefully returning to normal. Now, the thread …
An open message to Tom Watson
Tom, while I can never vote for you, as I live on the other side of the world, I think you’re setting the standard with your digital pledges as a part of your election campaign. You are doing great work as a digitally engaged politician who listens to and understands the concerns of your constituents. That said, I’ll leave most of the commentary to the UK folk who’ve commented on your blog post. They are closer to you than I. No doubt, you’re abundantly aware that your constituency now extends well beyond the electorate you represent, not least because you took a principled stand against things like the DE Bill. If only such a thing could occur in Australia, where, for example, the proposed filtering law’s chief parliamentary opponent, Senator Kate Lundy, is bound by the rules of the Labor Caucus and cannot cross the floor for fear of expulsion from the …
Home server setup advice
I’m about to buy myself a small server for home. I want it to do the following: manage profiles and permissions for three users run Subversion and Trac for my dev projects provide a development environment(s) for the same projects perform backups of data from other machines and itself, probably manage BitTorrent activity manage all our multimedia other stuff… I’m thinking of using VMWare for parts of this, such as the dev server. Other parts will obviously be native. Something like this setup at HowToForge would be ideal for the dev and BitTorrent stuff. So, in terms of hardware and software, what do you folks recommend? Feedback appreciated.
