NetBeans as an editor for ColdFusion scripts?

Is there any known NetBeans plug-in for editing, formatting and colour-coding of ColdFusion scripts?

I'm a big fan of IntelliJ IDEA. The ColdFusion plugin has its warts, but it's pretty good, as its Javascript, and I love the overall editor experience. It has support for tons of other languages too. http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/

Sublime Text 2 and Notepad++ have code coloring as add-ons (ColdFusion for Sublime and Netbeans), and you can get code completion for java functions, but you can't run the code like java in NetBeans, CFEclispse - mentioned above - can do that I think, but I have yet to get that to work (takes more time and devotion than I have to spare).

I prefer sublime because it's a little more customizable than Notepad++, but they're both great options, and lighter than Dreamweaver.

PS: Both Sublime and Notepad are free, but sublime wants you to spend $60, and reminds you every once in a while, which is kinda annoying, but I still use it over everything else.

I am afraid not. Some people have hacked together very basic syntax coloring and proper comments, but no plugin, and no cfml support.

Your best bet is the eclipse based CFEclipse or Adobe's ColdFusion Builder beta.

Also if you like JEdit I've had good results with that as well.

I know you asked about Netbeans but seriously unless things have changed you are better off elsewhere.
