3. Copy all contents of the extracted folder "eclipse plugins" to your eclipse/plugins directory.
4. Download and extract Adobe Flash builder 4 for linux from here. It is a custom built and assembled package by me which would save you some terminal pain. (it's assembled from the fb4linux opensource project since Adobe does not provide adobe flash builder for linux)
5. Download and extract The Adobe flex4 sdk somewhere you know from here
6. Open eclipse by running the file named "eclipse" which is inside the folder where you extracted eclipse.
7. from the menu bar click Help -> Install New Software

10. You'll notice a list of packages appeared. If not, try step 8 again. Click "Select All". Then Next. Keep accepting all terms and warnings then pressing Next. And click finish in The end.
