Tom Shreck just announced that he has decided to open source his cfcPowerTools product. Not too long ago Tom gave a presentation on thi s to our local cfug , and I was really impressed.

 DEMO HERE

Some of the things it offers (lifted from riaforge):

* generate CFCs from database tables
* generate database table from CFC
* batch generate CFCs from multiple database tables
* generate HTML, FLASH, and XML data entry forms
* supports round trip editing
* getter/setter generation

cfcPowerTools is highly scalable. cfcPowerTools is built using templates. You can modify the templates packaged with cfcPowerTools, or generate your own. cfcPowerTools comes with the following templates out of the box:

* Model Controller
* MACH II
* Concrete
* Simple
* Default

cfcPowerTools makes you more productive. cfcPowerTools produces consistant, reliable, predictable, and documented code. Productivity features:

* Component Doc View - cfcPowerTools upsizes ColdFusion's component doc view allowing you to interact with your CFC. From the component doc view, you can add, edit, and delete methods as well as view methods.

* Code Behind - you can toggle between the meta data view for a cffunction and the actual cffunction code.

* ColdFusion Admin - cfcPowerTools utilizes your ColdFusion administrator login to secure access to cfcPowerTools functionality.

* Managed Code - you can designate section(s) of your code as managed code. cfcpowerTools will only regenerate the managed code sections, ignoring the rest of your code.
