Adobe usually gives codenames to their products, when it is in development, before these products are given the names/version numbers by which they appear on store shelves.
Adobe’s code names for ColdFusion largely seem to be mythology characters related in one form or another. Code names can be about secrecy, but when it comes to software development, it’s usually not so much about secrecy as it is about the convenience of having a name for a specific version of the software. Here we are listing few of the ColdFusion & ColdFusion Builder code names as follows,
As well as, in this blog post, we have listed down, which version of JVM is supported by each ColdFusion version
