I am running the stand alone version of Flash builder. what I am wanting to do is to install an eclipse plugin into it. Is this possible or is it only possible if I install flash builder as an eclipse plugin?
Yes, you definitely can install eclipse plugins into Flash Builder 4.6. The download system works exactly like Eclipse Indigo (which I believe Builder is built upon). This means you can install new software and go to the various Marketplaces in order to get software to download. Everything works exactly as t would with a "regular" eclipse installation (including the annoying dependency messages, which you will tend to get more of because Builder is not a complete Eclipse implementation!).
It does work, though.

Eclispse Luna has been just released. I wanted to grab it from the download site. But here comes my problem. Even the Standard and Java Developer versions have features built-in which are not needed for me and just slows down the IDE. For example i do not use Mylin or Plug-in development. These things cannot be deleted from the installation... Is there an Eclipse Luna release which only contains the basic package?
Look at the Eclipse Project downloads
The Eclipse Platform is the smallest (but does not even have Java development).
The Eclipse SDK has Java and Plugin development and the Eclipse source. This is the one I always start from.
I downloaded jsuml-eclipse-0.8.4 from http://jsuml.gaertner-network.de/.
I put all the plugin jars in eclipse plugin folder and start eclipse in clean mode. Still i am unable to see the plugin in plugin installed in eclipse --> preferences --> plugin.
I am using eclipse helios on mac with snowlapord OS.
If any one know some good code to UML diagram in javascript please suggest.

At least you should ensure you use Eclipse 3.7.1 (Indigo). Newer versions wont work so far since some incompatibilites have brought in but the plugin was never adapted to that.
I managed it to get jsuml working, although I'm still not able to parse my .js files in.
Anybody know how to install Red5 IDE Plugin for Adobe Flash Builder 4?
Adobe Flash builder 4 comes with an integrated installation of Eclipse, but If I follow the instructions on Red5 site I get:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Red5 Feature 0.2.0 (org.red5.feature.feature.group 0.2.0)
Missing requirement: Red5 Feature 0.2.0 (org.red5.feature.feature.group 0.2.0) requires 'org.eclipse.jst.server.core 0.0.0' but it could not be found
I have tried everywhere but can't find any help.
Thanks in advance.
Answer
Flash Bulder 4 has Eclipse Galileo as integrated IDE, in order to make Red5 Plugin work first you have to install Eclipse Web Tools Platform (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/) and then you can install Red5 IDE Plugin.
Unfortunately the flash builder is not built on top of a full blown eclipse (it does not make sense to do so.), So you need to install the server components, if you are envisioning running servers from eclipse. The easiest way to do this is to install the all-in-one package from eclipse and then install the Flash builder plugin or you could try installing WTP (Web Tool Platform) tools in your existing flash builder.
Flashbuilder is available in two flavours. Standalone or as a eclipse plugin. I am currently doing all my flashbuilder plugin's(Currently working on a PureMVC plugin and need beta testers) development using eclipse indigo and flashbuilder 4.0(the plugin version) without any problem.
Short answer is :)
Just install the eclipse environment you want and then install the flashbuilder plugin..
Should work like a charm.

I need to choose a version of eclipse to install the Flash Builder 4 plugin on.
What versions of eclipse are most suitable for the plugin?
Are there any known problems with the latest version? (currently 3.6.1 I believe)
Are there any officially supported versions? / unsupported versions?
I use the latest Eclipse release (Helios 3.6.1) with the Flash Builder 4 plugin. I find Flash Builder 4 to be a little flaky in general, but nothing to stop me delivering my software.
I develop Flex on top of Java, which is why I want the latest version of Eclipse. I develop both Flex and Java in the same Eclipse workspace.
You can install the stand alone, which has eclipse in it.
I use this one and I just install all my plugins in the stand alone.
Hope that helps.
From the installation manual:
Install Flash Builder 4 Plug-in on
Windows: NOTE: Flash Builder 4 is
only supported on Eclipse 3.4 or
3.5. CAUTION: Do not install the plug-in version of Flash Builder 4
into a copy of Eclipse that is already
hosting Flex Builder 3 plug-in. If you
want to continue running Flex Builder
3 plug-in, download a new copy of
Eclipse and use that when installing
Flash Builder 4 plug-in, or choose
bundled Eclipse option in the
installer. In addition, be sure to use
separate Eclipse workspaces for each
installation.
HI all,
I have Eclipse installed with PDT (PHP Development tools).
I want to program in Java and C++, do I have to download whole Eclipse JDT and Eclipse CDT again, and have separate installations, or can I install "plugins" to handle Java and C++ ?
Thanks
Yes you can install the plugins into the same Eclipse installation. For Helios you can use the Update manager Help->Install New Software then select the Helios site and select C/C++ in Programming Lagnuages and so on. If there's something else you need you need to get the update URL and add a new site.
You can have one eclipse with all the plugins (and perspective). But that's tedious:
you'll have to find the plugin jars for each of the 'suites' and place it in the plugins dir. Sometimes they might not have an update site url
some plugins cause problems, sometimes mixing certain plugins cause problems - in short, the more plugins, the more likely your environment will crash
The way I'd suggest is to have a separate eclipse installation for each task. I myself have 3, for different sort of java development (one java, one flex, one for specific project with specific plugins)
Eclipse itself is perfectly stable and capable of supporting quite a lot of plugins. However if you are unlucky to need "crappy" plugins, there the problems being.
