I am glad to announce a new release for our Adobe ColdFusion Builder Extensions: ColdBox Platform Utilities 2.0. This new update features the following:
- Creation of virtual entity services for our ColdBox ORM integration
- Updated the ORM Event Handler so you can generate it and enable entity dependency injection via WireBox
- New ORM Templated Services so you can create base ORM classes
- New ORM Virtual Entity Services so you can create base ORM classes binded to specific entities
- New WireBox contributions: Property Injection so you can generate cfproperty injections
- New WireBox contributions: Setter Injection so you can generate DI for setters and even include generation of setters and getters.
For those of you using a previous version of the extensions, just auto update!

We have now released version
1.6 of the ColdBox Platform Utilities extension for
ColdFusion Builder. This 1.6 updates almost all of the assets and internal templates for some nice refactoring. You can use the auto update features if you like, however, we recommend for this release to do a manual override, as there are several things that need to removed also. The upcoming releases will be more stable in terms of auto-updating. Or if you are adventurous, just click on the Auto Update features and voila done!
Version 1.6 Updates- Lots syntax updates and refactoring
- Addition of css/js and jquery assets
- Install from ForgeBox by slug entry. You can now very easily install ANY entry from ForgeBox by just using its unique slug
- Lots of updates for setting up interceptors with or without programmatic configurations

We have now released version
1.5 of the ColdBox Platform Utilities extension for
ColdFusion Builder. As you might now ColdFusion Builder was also released this week and I am super excited as the extensions capabilities are just outstanding for a 1.0 release. This 1.5 updates all the application templates and now also the
ColdBox Modules templates. But wait, there's more! You can now auto-update the extension right from builder. We have added the capability to check for new releases of the extension via
ForgeBox and if there are any updates you can choose to install the update and voila! New Extension Installed.
