Trying to install Flex Builder 3 with Eclipse Galileo on OS X … no dice.

As reported at http://furiouspurpose.blogspot.com/2009/06/flex-builder-3-on-eclipse-35-gallileo.html, after downloading the Eclipse bundle for PHP developers I could install FB3 on Galileo. However,

• Compiler warnings then got displayed one at a time i.e. just displays first problem, had to fix and recompile to reveal the next one – not good for productivity
• When I tried to install the Java Development Kit (from Europa Discovery site) in order to install Ant, the installation failed, saying that only one of JDK or the PHP tools could be installed. I need Ant tools, so that’s a showstopper.

I’ve now gone back to Ganymede which works – though I can’t say I’m delighted with performance on my new MacBookPro
