Is there a way to get the Flex Builder plugin working on the latest Eclipse running on the Mac?

I've read that there is no hope with the Cocoa/64 bit version, but some report it works with the Carbon version.

I need the 64bit/cocoa version on the Mac in order to have access to the JDK6 libraries via the embedded maven support in the Eclipse IAM plugin.

Unfortunately Eclipse 3.5 is unsupported by Flex Builder 3. There are a few bugs for this:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-21025
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-21284

Please comment on those bugs and vote for them.

Try this one. That worked for me. I have Eclipse Galileo (3.5) and FlexBuilder 3.0

Goto your Eclipse Installation (example my installation is C:\eclipse) and there to this folder: C:\eclipse\links

Open File or create "com.adobe.flexbuilder.feature.core.link" and type in this text: path=C:/Program Files/Adobe/Flex Builder 3 Plug-in

In my case the word path was missing. After that restart your Galileo and it should work.

I guess on windows it works fine, but on the mac, it is still buggy... :S

This works for 32 bit operating systems for windows, however does not work for 64 bit OS.

Thanks so much, spent all night trying to figure out how to connect Adobe Plugin with Eclipse. It was the path missing as you illustrated. Regards
