title: Eclipse RCP Project Unable to Reference Regular Java Project
body: <h3>Question</h3>
  
  <p>I have three projects that I am working with in Eclipse in the same workspace: one RCP application, and two pure Java projects that it depends on. The one Java project depends on the other; this is accomplished in Properties->Java Build Path->Projects. However, neither that nor any other of the numerous methods I have tried have worked to make the RCP project depend on the pure Java projects. The solution I have now is haphazard; I have added the source of the other two projects to the RCP project as linked source folders. Is there a better solution?</p>
