Thanks Martin; this is good information. It sounds like the JDT has a good solution, although I wouldn't mind seeing behavior similar to Visual Studio where referenced projects are built and then added to the bin directory of the referencing project. I recently read a thread here talking about how to handle multiple swf/swc projects and I hope to see further discussion on these topics in the future.
