Leona (no last name listed) has taken my post (from which I 'repurposed' Darron Schall's original post) and added some thoughts/updates to get a Flex 3 dev environment running in Eclipse. I must agree that a copy of the XSD would have been nice, but hey, that'd be like giving away the farm I suppose...

Tom Chiverton's Gravatar XSD for Flex 3 you say ? For download you say ?

Leona's Gravatar Oh my goodness!!
I can already hear strains of the Alleluja chorus... Thanks Tom (and Todd!)

Shruthi C's Gravatar Hi...Plz can you let me know the exact versions of the plugins to be installed as a part of the process of setting up Eclipse 3.5 for Flex 3 SDK....
Please do reply...

Dave's Gravatar I just tried to install the Flex 3 SDK plug-in for Eclipse 3.5, but here it gave me the message that it is for Eclipse 3.2 to 3.4. Therefore I have installed Eclipse SDK 3.4.2, which works fine here.

I have installed the following plug-ins for Eclipse.

emf-sdo-xsd-SDK-2.2.3
GEF-ALL-3.4.2
JEM-SDK-1.2.3_jem
wtp-wst-R-3.1.1-20090917225226

In able to get the Web and XML option in my general settings, I did the following:

Started the "software updates and add-ons" from the menu Help. selected the tab "Available Software", there I typed WST, selected only the "WST Common UI" under Uncategorised, and pressed the Install button.

After that I could install the Flex 3 plug-in for Eclipse.

For the XML Catalog I downloaded the flex3.xsd file from the link that Tom posted - thanks for that.

I hope this is of any help.
