If you're a CakePHP user and have been frustrated by how this "bake" functionality doesn't allow for more than one validation rule on a given field, check out the new post on the SaniSoft blog (from Amit Badkas):

This is not much of a problem if you have only a few models but when you start to work on several dozen models in a project it becomes very tedious to open each and every model file to make changes.

The result of his frustration has come out in the form of a patch as a part of a new ticket in the CakePHP request submission process.

The Cake Baker blog has a new post useful to those out there using Eclipse to develop their applications in - a method for using bake with the PHPEclipse package.

Lately, Matt posted in a thread with the title "cool editors for using with cakephp" a tip for using bake from within PHPEclipse.

The tip makes use of the extendable configurations Eclipse makes possible, and they provide the exact lines you'll need to place inside to use bake.
