This morning on Twitter, tweets were flurrying around on how to use AIR 2.0 from within ColdFusion Builder. I walked several people through the process but thought I'd blog about it so that more people take advantage of the knowledge. The steps that follow assume that you have ColdFusion Builder. They may be similar for Aptana or CFEclipse, but your mileage may vary.

Last night at midnight Adobe released ColdFusion Builder, a brand new IDE built upon Eclipse for ColdFusion, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS development. The price is $299 and includes a full license for Flash Builder 4 Standard. This is a fantastic deal and if you're not using ColdFusion Builder already, then you should definitely give it a go.

As you may know, Adobe has public betas for ColdFusion Builder, and AIR 2.0. Both of these toolsets will really advance the development of Rich Internet Applications: for Flex, for Flash, or for standards compliant HTML and Javascript. One thing that it looks like neither will ship with, however, is support for jQuery 1.4, released on January 14, 2010. jQuery is arguably one of the the biggest players, if not THE biggest, in the burgeoning JavaScript framework renaissance of the last 3 years.
