Adobe unveils new beta versions of ColdFusion and ColdFusion Builder

For the development of web applications, content and videos that run across operating systems and devices

Adobe Systems has unveiled new beta versions of ColdFusion 9 and ColdFusion Builder software. ColdFusion 9 is a technology for developing web sites and internet applications. ColdFusion Builder is an Eclipse based integrated development environment (IDE) used for designing ColdFusion applications.

Adobe said that ColdFusion developers can now utilise a range of integrated tools, frameworks, clients and servers for the development of web applications, content and videos that run across operating systems and devices.

The company added that the ColdFusion 9 applications access data from existing enterprise infrastructure including Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Office files and portlet standards. Also, the new ColdFusion 9 includes an Adobe AIR application for managing multiple ColdFusion servers from one location.

ColdFusion 9 is also said to offer local and remote database synchronisation with Adobe AIR, by allowing users to use an application regardless of internet connectivity. According to the company, the integration with Hibernate’s object relational mapping (ORM) provides developers with database independent applications.

The company stated that the ColdFusion Builder is a new development tool that provides a unified, customisable and extensible development environment to code applications, manage servers and deploy projects. It includes tools for debugging applications within the IDE, a customised development environment, and also it includes support for applications built with ColdFusion 7 and 8.

The company further stated that ColdFusion Builder comes with the automation of redundant tasks and reuse of codes. Also, because ColdFusion Builder and Adobe Flash Builder are Eclipse based, there is a feature integration and enhanced workflow to generate client and server code. As a result developers can create interfaces and applications with ColdFusion server-side logic.
