Subclipse is one of the most frequently used plug-ins with Flash Builder. Here are some simple instructions for installing Subclipse and importing an existing project.
- Help > Install New Software…
- Add…
- Name=Subclipse, Location=http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x
- Select the plug-ins shown in the screenshot below. Note: I’ve deselected a few plug-ins here in order to minimize plug-in dependencies that sometimes have issues resolving.
- Finish the wizard. When prompted, restart Eclipse.
- On Mac, since JavaHL is not available, be sure to select SVNKit for your SVN interface
- Window > Preferences
- Team > SVN
- Change SVN Interface to SVNKit
- To import your projects from SVN
- File > Import…
- SVN > Checkout Projects from SVN
- Create or select a repository location
- Select your project root folder
- Finish

Great thanks!Now I want to install HTML and XML support J2EE plugins but I’m not allowed:….Software currently installed: Adobe Flash Builder 4.0.0 (com.adobe.flexbuilder.standalone.product 4.0.0)Only one of the following can be installed at once:Ant Build Tool Core 3.2.100.v20090817_r351 (org.eclipse.ant.core 3.2.100.v20090817_r351)org.eclipse.ant.core 3.1.200.v20070522….Are there any free compatible HTML and XML plugins available?
Which update site are you using? Make sure you’re using the Galileo update site http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/.
Thank you for so useful article
Very helpful. I had to select “Other” after File > Import in order to find SVN.
Thank you very much!
Excellent! very helpful.
This is all good and well, but Flash Builder constantly recreates the bin-debug folder for AS/Flex projects destroying the .svn folder inside. This makes the bin-debug folder impossible to version. Does Adobe have any plans on fixing this? It’s extremely frustrating.
This is intentional. bin-debug should only contain derived files (compiled or otherwise copied from elsewhere) and is not intended to be versioned. You can right click on bin-debug, open properties, and uncheck the Derived property. This should allow Subclipse to pick it up for version control, but this is not typically recommended. Server projects are a different story if you have server-specific resources in your bin-debug folder.
Running Flash Builder 4, Mac OS X 10.6.2
I followed the instructions and have had to uninstall and install 3 times now. I keep getting the same error message when I try and connect to our company svn url.
***** error dialog message *****
“Problem Occurred”
An internal error occurred during: “Fetching children of [our_SVN_url]“.
Unable to locate a login configuration
***** error dialog message *****
I am still able to connect to the same svn url using Flex 3 with no issues.
Seems like an SVN or Subclipse error. You might try Subclipse support here: http://subclipse.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectProcess?pageID=t65B1R.
I had projects in Flash Builder already under version control, but Subclipse wasn’t recognizing them. I simply closed and opened the projects and that resolved the issue.
Hi,
I have a problem with committing ‘bin’ folder on Flash Builder Burrito. (ActionScript Project) Html Wrapper is not checked. I’m using flash player debugger. And i want to commit ‘bin’ folder. How does it work?
Thanks,
Alper
Thanks! Very helpful instructions. Worked perfectly in my fresh install of FB 4 Premium

Thanks! I installed it!
This does not work for me … SVN is not available for me after all.
Great and easy.
Thanks. It saved me a lot of time from resolving unnecessary dependencies.
Thanks for the tutorial, really helped. But the problem I have is Flash Builder now won’t do any of its code hinting. Do you know what the problem could be?
