ColdFusion Builder and CFEclipse

Think ColdFusion Builder v.1 and CFEclipse are the same? Think again. Adobe just published a new whitepaper comparing the two CFML development tools to set the record straight. In just one version, ColdFusion Builder didn't just catch up to CFEclipse, it took many steps beyond it. Here is an HTML version of the paper without some of the pictures and examples.
