[flexcoders] Where to Download Eclipse 3.1.x?

[Ronald Kinion]

We're beginning the 
process here of migrating to Flex 2.  As part of that we are also switching 
our java development from an old version of IntelliJ (the people who control the 
purse strings won't pay for all the new licenses for intellij we would 
require--especially since they just dug deep into their pockets for new Flex2 
and Flex2 builder licenses).  I initially installed the Flex Builder 2 
standalone, thinking that would be all we needed.  It didn't take me too 
long to figure out there was no Java Development tools included.  
Doh.  
 
After pulling my 
hair out for a while I've figured out I need to do one of two things: Uninstall 
FB2, download Eclipse 3.1.2, then reinstall with FB2 as a plugin; or Download 
the JDT tools plugin into the standalone.  Searching the archives seems to 
indicate most people think the first option is the way to go, but my question 
then is, where do I download it?  Adobe doesn't provide any links and going 
to Eclipse.org I was only able to find 3.2.x versions, which the flex2 system 
requirements clearly state is not supported.  I did find a JbossIDE which 
purports to have Eclipse 3.1.2, but I'm a little leery of getting it after the 
previous experience.  Does anyone have a useful link or 
recommendations?  Or should I download the JDT stuff into FB2?  Would 
that just be all the plugins listed when I go to 'Help->Software 
Updates->Find and Install...' and select the Eclipse.org update 
site?
 
If someone can also 
point me to some tutorial or documentation on how to easily bundle up settings 
and plugins and share/install them among a development team that would also be a 
real help.  So far the 'copy-the-plugins-directory' approach we used with 
Intellij is looking very doubtful as a good solution.  
 
While I'm on 
the subject does anyone know of any useful plugins to install to ease the 
transition or duplicate intellij features?  I'm already looking at 
installing wpt and the fds plugin on the adobe flex exchange and I'd like to see 
if there are other good ones.
 
Thanks for all the 
help
