He3, says Matt Liotta, will be available in beta form this weekend. Based on Eclipse 3.0 RC1, it will be updated shortly to the 3.0 Final release of Eclipse.

It's a color-coding ColdFusion editor with tag completion - "a little rough round the edges but with great things promised" says Macromedia's Director of Architecture Sean Corfield.

"He3 has built-in Regex and XPath panels that let you build and test your regular expressions and XML queries in 'real time' using arbitrary snippets of text and XML (highlighting matches as you type)," continues Corfield in a blog entry from the CFUN conference. 

"He3 also recognizes Mach II applications and provides an intelligent XML editor for the mach-ii.xml configuration file, showing both a source view and a tabular view of each of the sections of the file, with the ability to add and delete entries using the table view - very useful for building out the skeleton of the application."

Corfield also reports: "He3 has a variety of cool editing tricks up its sleeve including auto-updates from RichPalette's Web site (so you'll get new features as they're made available), 'quick dif' against all previously saved versions of a file (very useful to keep track of what you've been doing to a file!), integration with CVS and so on."
