Eclipse: a trick!

A great editor, but I'm used to Dreamweaver, and Dreamweaver's auto-closing of tags. I couldn't get it to work. But Googling found me the trick:

It's almost like running a kitchen again


Only instead of a one-day cooking event with half-a-dozen helpers, it's a three-week project of three developers.

I was trying so hard to be up to date....

I have a new, shiny, desktop PC, intended for serious web dev / office type use. So, Win7, not Vista, obviously.
I've been gradually choosing and installing serious office-type software, all legal versions, getting to know the operating system's quirks and options, getting the home network tuned for it, and making sure it all works before I put the next bit on. Today is the turn of Cold Fusion.

ColdFusion 9 system requirements
Windows
•Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD Athlon processor
•Microsoft® Windows Server® 2003 Web, Standard, or Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 1, R2 and Service Pack 2; Windows Server 2008; Windows® XP Professional or Home Edition; or Windows Vista® (Windows 7 not supported)


Drat! Time to play with a virtual PC, I think, but this is NOT ideal. I'd gues it won't be long before CF runs under Win7, since if they can make it run under Vista this should be easy, but I wanted it now! I suppose I could carry on using the (Vista) laptop....
