Oh, you can still do that if you want to. Our training rooms have both installed - FlexBuilder standalone and Eclipse with the FlexBuilder plugin. That does take extra disk space, though. > And Adobe loses a lot of control over the UI by having it be integrated or as > a plug-in for > Eclipse - or at least, they have not modified it to look like other Adobe > apps - it looks totally > separate. Yes. But I like this. And for what it's worth, there are other Adobe apps built on Eclipse, like LiveCycle Workbench and the upcoming CF editor "Bolt". Adobe is definitely moving to Eclipse for programming IDEs. > Also, due to the nature of working for a huge company with lots of IT > security measures, we > have to go through lengthy architecture reviews of software before it gets > installed.

You don't have to upgrade Eclipse. I don't think the version of Eclipse that's bundled with the FlexBuilder install has changed.
