Plugin project referencing to Java project [message #302345]

I have 2 Eclipse projects:

Project 1 is a normal Java project and should have a jar file as output
Project 2 is a Plugin project and should use the jar file (as library?)

I added a project reference from project 2 to project 1. I can compile
project 2.
However when running or debugging project 2 it can't find the classes of
project 1.
How can I solve this? I prefer a solution without making a jar file
manually each time. Within the team have installed eclipse on different
locations, so I can use only relative paths

It doesn't work that way with plugins. You only reference other plugins,
not jars in another project.

Like Rich mentioned, if you want it on the classpath you gotta be in a
plugin.

So turn it from a java project into a plugin project (it would still be
a java project). Then you can use it in your workspace for plugins, but
when you export it as a jar for a java app it'll work fine like that as
well.
