Transitioning from FlexBuilder 3 to FlashBuilder 4 ... there and back again

It's growing pains time again. Some of our stuff requires FlashBuilder 4 and some still requires FlexBuilder 3. Both are installed OK, and no projects use both IDEs. The trouble is, 开发者_开发技巧when I go back to work on a FlexBuilder 3 project it takes freakin' forever to build and I get weird errors like these:

This doesn't seem to cause any identifiable problems except to throw up a modal dialog at various points in the build process, forcing user interaction. But I do notice that memory fills up fast in FB3 and generally FB3 starts behaving strangely and ultimately quits once it gets up over 700MB.

This is only a temporary bridge situation until we get all projects into FB4, but "temporary" could mean weeks if not months. Does anyone have any advice for how to get through this bridge period? Is there anything I can do to make these two IDEs work and play well together? Failing that, does anyone know what "java.lang.String" is the "reason" for the problem? Does Eclipse have a resource bundle somewhere that is getting corrupted when i go back and forth between the two?

What do you need in Flex Builder 3 that means you cannot just use the project in Flash Builder 4?

Is there a reason why you can't move your projects to Flash Builder 4, but specify that you want to continue using Flex 3 SDK? Have you tried that and run into issues?

Thanks,
