phi1281, Thanks for bringing this to our attention! It is noted.

If FlexBuilder were open source, we would likely look into this. But since we do not
have *any* budget whatsoever, we probably will not support integration into
FlexBuilder or other commercial products.

Sorry ...

when you say "error thrown"... what error is thrown? does anything useful show up in
the error log? does flexbuilder even have an error log?

if i had to guess, the problem is that the plugin relies on services provided by an
eclipse widget that doesn't ship with flexbuilder.

This may not be much help, but for me, rule #1 of installing FlexBuilder is to avoid
the stand-alone version at all costs.  It works fine if you use it for FlexBuilder
ONLY, but who can do that with the bounty that is eclipse.  Try installing Eclipse
natively and then adding FlexBuilder in using the plug-in version.  It's much happier
that way.  I'm running FlexBuilder and a bunch of other plug-ins including mxbuilder
and it works fine.
