Pimping out your Flex Builder
Friday, March 28, 2008 
I like to keep a pretty lean IDE intact, but I ran into Krugle recently and I have found their free code-searching service to be pretty interesting so far. And they support ActionScript and Flex, so that's especially nice.
I installed the Krugle plugin into Flex Builder 3 as you can see in the screen shot above. Out of the box it globally searches, so you can use this help page to guide you a bit. This help page has helped me a lot already.
Are there other plugins/panels that one should really consider using within the IDE? I'm talking about pimping out Flex Builder for AS3/Flex/AIR, maybe XML, but without needless gunk.
I found this plugin from Visual Paradigm called SDE for Eclipse. It does UML (ugly) and I read this at the site:
SDE for Eclipse supports a set of languages both in Code Generation and Reverse Engineering on Java, C++, CORBA IDL, PHP, XML Schema, Ada and Python. In addition, Code Generation supports C#, VB .NET, Object Definition Language (ODL), Flash ActionScript, Delphi, Perl, Objective-C, and Ruby. Reverse Engineering also supports Java class, .NET dll and exe, JDBC, and Hibernate mapping files.I have no idea if that plugin is any good, I'm gonna pass on it for now unless someone encourages me to.
