IMHO they should have just integrated all the code editing and
compilation abilities into dreamweaver to make it a better, must have,
product, or put everything dreamweaver has into eclipse if they truly
want to move everything to eclipse.
They (Macromedia) tried that with Flex 1 and 1.5 and failed miserably.
If you think Eclipse is slow (which I don't) then you should find a copy of
Flex 1 :)
Like Dave I have also run Eclipse on a single core P4 with 1Gb ram and it ran
OK.
Took a bit of jvm tweaking though. And FB 3 runs alot better than FB2.
On a dual core 3.0 with 4Gb ram it runs smooth as butter.
I'm personally very happy with FlexBuilder (and Eclipse in general) and look
forward to Bolt (CF editor).

Use Flash Develop or Flex Builder
Flash develop is free and great for as3; yet, Flex Builder for eclipse,
with its insanely high price tag of $249, is better if you want to
include capabilities to edit other languages like c++ or java.

Eclipse is insanely slow, and java , even with flashdevelop's sytax
checking through java, makes my dual core 2.2 ghz CPU with 2gigs of
memory, spike at 45% for its processes and take 250 - 500 MB of memory.
Java sucks ass when it comes to speed; despite the propaganda, spread by
SUN and java developers, to the contrary.
