Yeah, that was our biggest take away as well, a good project structure and having good ant scripts are key.

Web and test both pull in the common SWC. Still very skeletal at this point so there could be hurdles further down the road we're not aware of yet, but all going smoothly for now. I can even step through my unit tests in Flex Builder -- something I wasn't sure I'd be able to do as there's no FlexUnit plugin for Eclipse that I could find... Oh, last thing is we are using Antennae common tasks and targets for our Ant builds, just because it's the first thing we stumbled across and seems to have fairly good structure for multi-project solutions.
