Adobe ColdFusion Builder is the name for Adobe's Eclipse based development IDE that can be used to build applications for ColdFusion. The product's original codename, "Bolt," is a reference to the original lightning icon for the product from the Allaire days. In 2010, Adobe released an official ColdFusion IDE based on the Eclipse platform, officially named Adobe ColdFusion Builder, but often referred to as CFBuilder.
