Flex eclipse plugin isn't it free?
Solution 1
No, it is not free.
There are some free options for development, however:
- Command-line and editor of choice
- FlashDevelop
- Tofino (Visual Studio plugin, if you already have that)
Solution 2
I guess you mean Flash Builder (formerly Flex Builder).
It is an Eclipse-based IDE, so I guess you can call it an Eclipse plugin, but it is not free.
You can however get a free license for it if you are unemployed or student, or using it for academic purposes.
Check http://www.adobe.com/devnet-archive/flex/free/ out to know more about this offer.
Solution 3
There a two flavors of Flash Builder (formerly Flex Builder). The Flash Builder plugin for eclipse and the Flash Builder stand-alone (build upon eclipse). Both are part of the commercial license.
Beside the commercial Flash Builder plugin there exist many other commercial plugins for eclipse. Nothing confusing about that.
Solution 4
There seems to be some confusion here if I'm understanding correctly.
There is a free flex plug-in avilable for eclipse. Flex has been an open-source project and the SDK available as a stand-alone plug-in for the eclipse IDE for free; yes for free, for several years now. For obvious reasons it isn't widely promoted, but it is available. Here is a link explaining the free flex 4 SDK for Eclipse.

crowso over 13 yearsi thought flex builder and flex eclipse plugin were two different things ?

Dunaril over 13 years@user No, there is Flash Builder and that's it. Flex Builder is the old name.

Dunaril over 13 yearsI am not quite agreeing with you. There is basically no difference between the plugin and the stand-alone: the stand-alone is just the plugin running on a separate Eclipse provided at the installation.
