Current tool set is: IDE/Editor: Eclipse with CFEclipse with Aptana plugins. I have actually stopped using Dreamweaver alltogether (I guess since I discovered Aptana). I used Subclipse for quite a while on a large project with many many files and unfortunately Eclipse became extremely sluggish to use, so I disabled the Subclipse plugin. I do miss having a connector to Subversion from within Eclipse. Source Control: Still Subverson with Tortoise SVN. Build Tool: Still Ant. Unit Testing: Still CFCUnit, but sadly not so much recently. I would also like to comment on a design tool I have discovered recently: Violet UML ( http://horstmann.com/violet ). I am exploring doing designs before coding (yes, revolutionary, I know). I have found Violet to be absolutely fantastic. I was trying out ArgoUML before, but it didn't really lend itself to CF typeless design and a bit tedious to work with. Violet showed up and is just perfect for what I need. It also has an Eclipse plugin that I have not tried yet ( http://alexdp.free.fr/violetumleditor/page.php ).

Maybe if you've started using subclipse and maybe have found the Aptana plugin useful? Hi Kevan, have you got an update on your development tools?
