Here are some of the plugins that I always install when using Flash Builder. Let me know what you think, and let me know what other plugins you recommend.

quantumDB – (quantum.sourceforge.net) – this will give you access to your MySQL database from within Flash Builder. Very useful to check what is going on and also to check if your SQL commands return what you think.

phpeclipse (www.phpeclipse.com) – this will install a php editor and internal web browser, so you now do all your php editing from within Flash Builder.

flash snippets panel – (theflashblog.com/?p=1494) – this is very new and is still in alpha, but it works brilliantly so far. Check out Lee Brimelow’s blog for future updates to this. Highly recommended.

subclipse – (subclipse.tigris.org) – this is a very good implementation of svn for FlashBuilder. Highly recommended. It is very easy to add your svn address and then check out the latest version. You can then create a new project from that trunk.

  1. You should really check out SourceMate. http://www.elementriver.com/sourcemate. It has some really amazing features that I have found pretty useful. It isn’t free (think it’s like $70 or something), but it is well worth the investment IMO.
