I found that when I installed eclipse and CF eclipse on my new Mac I did not have line numbers. I made sure the preference for show line number was turned on in the preferences, but the line number still would not show up. I put up with it for a while but, then I broke down and googled this issue. The fix was really simple.

Open the "org.cfeclipse.cfml.prefs" file found (your workspace folder\)".metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\" add "lineNumberRuler=true" Save file, start cfeclipse.

Note these files are hidden, you will have to use Textwranger or Textmate's ability to view / edit hidden files. (or do the "defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES" and "KillAll Finder" trick)
