Creating Flex/Java project with Eclipse Helios & Flash Builder 4 plugin

Not able to create a flex/java project with Flash builder 4 plug-in in Eclipse Helios version,
the work around is to use Eclipse Galileo and then open the project in Helios.

Eclipse Galileo/Helios Jboss6 setup

Eclipse Galileo/Helios does not have the JBoss 6 server adapter, so to make JBoss work from eclipse Galileo we need to download a plugin from http://www.cs.hs-rm.de/~knauf/public/index.html and copy it to the eclipse plugins folder.
