Hi!

Maybe this is a FAQ, but:
What is the meaning of "Project References", e.g. of a Java Project?

Aren't all dependencies set in
"Java Build Path"/"Required projects on the build path"?

thanx!
Marcus

btw: where can I find the FAQ of this list?

They are essentially the same. Since the basic Eclipse framework is
language-agnostic, it has generic project references, in addition to the
language specific references in the java build path. The short answer
is that if you're doing JDT development, just stick with the java build
path and the project references will be updated automatically.
