I've done Eclipse plug-in development (fun, but not as much so as Flex), but my hunch is something like this would be difficult to do without Adobe. Flexbuilder does apparently publish Eclipse extension points, but I'm not sure how the language/runtime bridging would occur. If anyone knows more about the implementation of Design View, I'm definitely curious.
I also have a feeling AIR is not OLE-enabled....
