CFUnit not in CFEclipse, just yet

I've just had a comment in my CFUnit guide about not being able to find the feature in CFEclipse. This isn't because it is hidden within CFE, but as with all beta's some features/functions never make the final cut. Sadly this time the CFunit feature was one of them.

Don't worry though. It is in the pipeline, and will be coming!

I might have had something to do with the question being raised. I blogged about how cool the feature was when I didn't realize that I hadn't disabled the beta. The nice thing is, if you have the beta, you can now pretty easily switch back and forth between versions. While the cfunit integration is really nice, it shouldn't prevent anybody from experimenting with it. The integration isn't needed to use it.

It's here in my copy of CFE1.3...
@Tom, you sure that Eclipse is using the final 1.3 code and not a RC? I spoke to Mark the other day about this who confirmed it wasn't in the 1.3 release.
Yeah, weird, which is why I mention it. I have directories called .../plugins/org.cfeclipse.cfml.cfunit_1.0.3 and .../plugins/org.cfeclipse.cfml_1.3.0
I was on the beta, but that's uninstalled now, and there are no other cfeclipse plugin directories.
I hope that when it is fully integrated, the plugin handles cfcUnit since that's a much better designed unit test framework than CFUnit.
Sean, the only thing that is left for it to support CFCunit is a proxy that the view calls to both run and get results.

I shall put some more deails for people that want to implement that.

The proxy basically returns some text back on the results.
