I've no idea. Flash Builder (nee Flex Builder) is a closed-source app
not available on Linux, so my interest in getting it working is
limited! I'd be interested to hear feedback on using it if you get it
working, and especially interested in how it interacts with our
hand-written code. I tried getting Eclipse up and running with P2 but
figuring out Eclipse itself was pretty much beyond me.

The rule is actually 3.4 or 3.5 only. I can see that Flex Builder
3.0.2 comes with Flex SDK 3.2 so that couldn't be used - well, perhaps
to author code but for example the map_features panels trigger a bug
in the flex SDK that was fixed in SDK 3.4, so I don't think you'd be
best pleased to encounter that while testing!

Cheers,
