Getting Eclipse and Flex Builder to work together on my Kubuntu laptop was a lot easier than [node:1485,title="at work"] - because it's all 32-bit, mainly.
- Install Eclipse from the Ubuntu repositories (unlike RedHat, this doesn't appear to be particularly mangeled). Currently this gets you v3.2, which is fine.
The packages I used were eclipse, eclipse-jdt, eclipse-pde, eclipse-platform, eclipse-rcp and eclipse-source - plus whatever dependancies I was offered. - Change the Eclipse install to be owned by your user:
chgrp -R <user> /usr/lib/eclipse
chmod -R g+w /usr/lib/eclipse - Run the Flex Builder installer, and tell it your Eclipse install is in /usr/lib/eclipse - leave the other options at the defaults.

Well, looks nice enough, but Builder's new project wizard creates a project layout that is a lot more familiar.

Flex builder was installing fine for me in ubuntu, but was not showing flex project or perspective in eclipse... this fixed it!
Thanks!
