I totally forgot to blog about this, but an update to the ColdBox Help & Reference Eclipse plugin has been released.  This is version 1.1.0 of the eclipse plugin and it includes much more help content right from within eclipse.  It includes the new javadoc style API, some getting started guides and much more.

So please follow the update instructions to get updated.

Alongside the ColdBox 2.6.2 release we have also released the Eclipse Reference Plugins version 1.0.7.  You can find the instructions on how to download, update or install in our Eclipse Plugins Guide.

Thanks and enjoy!!
