Flex Builder in Linux!

I was excited to learn today that Adobe is working on a version of the Flex Builder Eclipse plugin for Linux. It's available now in alpha. It doesn't do some of the design layout stuff yet, but it does do code completion and syntax highlighting. (Besides, only people who hate source code use the design layout tool!)

One word of caution: the plugin currently only works with Eclipse 3.3.x! Ubuntu gave me Eclipse 3.2.2, which didn't work with it, so I tried the latest release, 3.4.1. That one doesn't work either! You need 3.3.x.

Anyway, here's the download page. You get much longer than the standard 60-day evaluation period. Enjoy!
