For big projects that involves more people a version control software is a must. There are many but from the two most used, which are CVS (Concurrent Versions System) and SVN (Subversion), I’ll explain how to install Subclipse on Flex Builder 3 – Subclipse is a plug-in providing support for Subversion within the Eclipse IDE (Flex Builder is based on Eclipse IDE).
Starting with the Flex Builder opened do the following actions:
- Help menu → Sofware Updates → Find and Install → Search for New Features to Install → Check Europa Discovery Site (do not check automatically select mirrors) → Finish
- Select a mirror from the List that appeared → Ok
- In the new list expand Europa Discovery Site → expand Java Development → select Plug-in Development Enviroment and Java Development Tools → Next → Accept the terms and conditions → Next → Finish
- Restart Flex Builder
- Help menu → Sofware Updates → Find and Install → Search for New Features to Install → New Remote Site → Enter the following: name – Subclipse, URL – http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.0.x/
- Then a new entry should appear in the list with the list with sites for search → Expand Subclipse → Expand Subclipse Plug-in → Check Subclipse 1.2.x (available version might be different when you read this) → Next → Accept the terms and conditions → Next → Finish
- Restart Flex Builder
These should be the necessary steps to install Subclipse on Flex Builder 3 but there is a small possibility that I overpassed minor steps.

No, those steps worked perfectly.
Thanks.
This doesn’t seem to work with the latest subclipse.
thanks for jotting these down! worked great with one change… in order to get the 1.2.x update in step 6, i used this URL in step 5: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.2.x/
