As in the question. Is there a way to achieve the functionality of Flash Builder starting from plain Eclipse via installing appropriate plugins & stuff?
I'm trying to use cutting edge Eclipse version for Adobe Air development.
You can use FDT Plugin with Eclipse. http://fdt.powerflasher.com/

I just found out that the Processing Eclipse plugin is not under active development, and for that matter uses a rather old version of Eclipse.
Eclipse plugin project for Processing
I tried to to use the latest core.jar lib with the plugin but that didnt do. Is there a way to use develop Processing sketches in Eclipse using the latest Procssing version. Thanks
I warmly recommend the Proclipsing plugin.
Eclipse > Help > Install New Software > Add >

There's also a quick video tutorial available:
It allows you to easily create a Processing project (java but links the core.jar and extends a PApplet for you) and also has tools to export a Processing Application or Applet.
All you need to do is point to your Processing install and it will also find your existing libraries.
If you don't want to use any eclipse plugins you can always create a new Java project, add core.jar to the build path and extend PApplet.
Update
Based on your comments, perhaps a half-way method would solve your problem:
Try the PDE X mode in Processing. You get auto-complete, code navigation and renaming.
Update
PDE X is now integrated into the Processing 3.0 pre-release
I'm currently developing an application in ActionScript 3.0, and GVim isn't really working well with it. Are there are any plugins for Eclipse that allow ActionScript functionality?
Adobe Flash Builder is built on Eclipse.
Or, you can install the Flex SDK plugin for Eclipse.
At this time (2015) there are no usable free Eclipse plugins for AS3 development as far as I know. Adobe's Eclipse plugin is dead, FDT free version is all but worthless and as3ide isn't working with the current Eclipse.
But there is FlashDevelop, it isn't based on Eclipse but is quite usable as an AS3 IDE. It is completely free and open source.
I have installed
Google Plugin for Eclipse 3.6
Google Web Toolkit SDK 2.4.0
in my Eclipse-Helios-3.6 but cannot find the google plugin icon in my toolbar and also I'm able to find Google in Windows>>Preferences.
Operating system-Ubuntu
Well since you are able to see google in windows preferences i am assuming that the installation did work. Have you tried creating a new GWT Project. The GWT button might not show if the project is wrong.
Do not use the pre-packaged Eclipse in Ubuntu (that version is often quite outdated). Get a current version from the Eclipse website instead and install it in a directory that you like (thereby avoiding problems with the Eclipse update mechanism, which doesn't fit the Linux directory guidelines very well).
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.
I was about to start with a chat application like this one. I was wondering how to do it on Eclipse. Does Eclipse support Flex development? Is there a plugin or a tool which I need to download for Eclipse?
I installed Flash Develop on my machine, but I am getting some issue in unzipping the zip file for Flex SDK which I can't figure out why. Thus I was thinking of switching to Eclipse. It will be really great if someone can also help me fix this issue.
Thanks,
Stone
Another solution would be to use Maven and especially the Flexmojos Plugin to build your application and to use Maven inside Eclipse. This was the way we did it for quite a long time, because Eclipse really sucked if a Project consisted of 50+ Sub-Projects. In the meanwile we switched to IntelliJ but are still using the Maven+Flexmojos approach.
Eclipse does not support Flex development by itself. You will need to purchase Flash Builder which is based on Eclipse. It can be used is a plug-in for an existing Eclipse installation, or installed as a standalone application. There isn't a free solution for using flex inside of eclipse that I am aware of.
Flash Builder has advantages and disadvantages compared to Flash Develop. Try both and see which one meets your requirements.
If you are having trouble using the Flex SDK to with Flash Develop, please post a new question with the details.
