emacs + flex builder = ftw

Holy, I am running Windows 7 host with Ubuntu guest inside of VirtualBox. Works amazing. Anyways, got Flex Builder running on Windows, it's really sweet, much better than the Linux Alpha version. So, I mounted my Windows drive to be accessible by my user id in /etc/fstab:
sness /winsness vboxsf uid=500,gid=500,convertcp=iso8859-1 0 0
Then you just have to edit files in Emacs on Ubuntu and the changes show up automagically in Eclipse. In Emacs on Ubuntu you will want to revist the files you change on Eclipse with:
C-x C-v - runs the command find-alternate-file
But Emacs will warn you about this if you try editting them. Eclipse seems to figure out when files have changed and automatically rebuilds them. Nice, but spooky!

try putting

(global-auto-revert-mode t)

in your .emacs file, to have emacs automatically revert files that have changed.
