Adding Subclipse to Flex Builder 3 Standalone

When I tried to install Subclipse into Flex Builder 3 beta Standalone version, I got an error claiming org.eclipse.jdt.core was missing. A recent post by Joao Fernandes pointed me in the right direction. In my case, I needed to update the Java Development Tools and the Plugin Development Environment.

To perform the updates:

• Open Flex Builder beta 3
• Select the help menu
• Software Updates
• Find and Install
• Search for New Features to Install
• Choose Europa Discovery Site
• Choose a Mirror
• Expand Europa Discovery Site
• Expand Java Development
• Select the following:
  • Eclipse plug-in development Environment (PDE)
  • Java Development Tools (JDT)
• Accept the terms and restart Flex Builder 3 Beta when asked
• Select the help menu
• Software Updates
• Find and Install
• Search for New Features to Install
• Choose "New Remote Site" and use the following:
  • Name: Subclipse
  • URL: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.0.x/
• Expand Subclipse Update Site
• Expand Subclipse Plugin
• Choose Subclipse 1.2.x (available version might be different when you read this)
• Accept the terms and restart Flex Builder 3 Beta when asked

If, when checking subversion, you get an error such as: Buckminster - Subclipse support (Incubation) (0.2.0.r3554) requires plug-in "org.eclipse.buckminster.core"., simply open the subversion option and unselect Integrations.

There, no SVN repository is safe from you now!
