CFBuilder as Eclipse Plugin Won't Open

Question

I'm having a very odd issue installing ColdFusion Build 2.0 Update 1 as a plugin for Eclipse. I don't want to install it Standalone because I'd like to also install some other Eclipse plugins, and have read there are performance issues with the Standalone version.

I've tried eclipse.exe -clean, though I have a fresh install of Eclipse. I have uninstalled CF Builder (multiple times), installed with and without (explicitly given) Admin privileges.

When the installation completes, Eclipse opens. I select a new, empty Workspace. Eclipse opens as it normally would (no CF Builder license prompt as I see in some installation tutorials), and NO CF Builder perspective is available. I see some CF Builder menu options under Help, but they won't open either.

The installation log doesn't note anything that I see that would say the installation failed. Everything seems to be installing correctly.

I have to say that I do have multiple Eclipse installs, one being Aptana, on my machine.

Any help with this installation would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Edit: I am using Eclipse Kepler 64 bit. Java 7 64 bit.

Eclipse Standard/SDK
Version: Kepler Service Release 1
Build id: 20130919-0819

Answer 1

ColdFusion Builder 2.x will only run on Eclipse v3.7.x. That's not a minimum version, that's the only version.

Kepler seems to be v4.3, so is not supported. And by "not supported" means "won't run".
