Extension Builder Extension for ColdFusion Builder

I wanted to learn how to create some extensions for the new ColdFusion Builder IDE so I thought I would start off walking. The first thing you can do is head over to http://www.riaforge.org and check out the Bolt Extension Category. This is a great market place for all the free extensions out there and will let you check out some code. After checking out some cool extension demos by Ray Camden and Brian Rinaldi I decided to create my own.

When you first start out writing extensions your not quite sure where to put everything. My extension will basically help you get started. All you have to do is create a project right click on it and click Extension Builder > Generate Extension. This will write out a base shell for you with some examples. Yes this is an extension to build an extension! I created a quick screen cast to demo the extension, I hope you like. Again this was just a fun project so I could learn the basics, be on the look out for some cool extension from me in the future. Click on the image below to watch the screen cast.
