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

What would be *really* nice would be an adapter to write Flexbuilder plug-in panels in Flex, or package Flex/AIR apps to run within Eclipse/FB with special integration APIs (just as AIR apps can re-use code from Flex apps, and have additional APIs to access the file system). Imagine what the
