How to create a "new file" in ColdFusion Builder without use of a project

Note: This blog post is from 2013. Some content may be outdated--though not necessarily. Same with links and subsequent comments from myself or others. Corrections are welcome, in the comments. And I may revise the content as necessary.
A newcomer to ColdFusion Builder (coming from Dreamweaver) expressed frustration on the Adobe CFBuilder forum about the challenge of doing something as simple as creating a new file--without having to name it first, and when not using "projects".

I offered a reply, both explaining why CFB has a project-oriented nature (being an Eclipse-based product) and also how they could be seen akin to DW "sites". Still, I appreciate the difference and the challenge to newcomers.

But most important, I explained how the Aptana plug-in built-into CFB does indeed offer a solution for him, in its "Untitled Files" feature, easily accessed from the File>New dialog. This would let him create a new file without need of either naming the file first or picking a project (whether when creating the new page or when saving it).

It's not an obvious solution, but I show how it can be made to be easily accessible with a single keystroke.

Rather than repeat myself here, I'll just point interested readers to the forum thread, "Creating a new file". Perhaps others will share more insights after mine, and feel free to leave comments here or there as you see fit.

1. how to create a ColdFusion Page in ColdFusion Builder 2?

When I type :
"<cfset artistsObj = createObject("component","artistscfcs.ARTISTSService").init() />

<cfset artistsQry = artistsObj.getAllARTISTS() />
<cfdump var="#artistsQry#"/>"

in an index file in my Project and lick Firefox tab beside source, it shows message: The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost.

My Server is running normal, connection is OK! How to fix?

2. In RDS Configuration, Test Connection is Succeful, but Test Debugger failL

"it said : An RDS connnection was established but the ColdFusion RDS line debugger could not be contacted. The server gave the following message: Coldfusion line Debugger is not enabled."

@Alex, your question is not on-topic with this blog entry. I see that you asked the same question in the Adobe CFBuilder forum. That's the best place to ask such a question. If/when I can get some time, I'll offer an answer there, if no one else has by then.
