I have a project "base" with a custom library e.g. "junit-4.11.jar" on the classpath. Therefore I can use the junit classes within this base project.

In another project called "dependee" I have configured the "base" project as dependency. Therefore I can use classes (e.g. DataClasses) from the "base" project in the "dependee" project.

But I can't re-use the classes from the third party junit library. Did I miss something?

The third party library must be exported to the classpath in order to be accessible in the dependee project. Proceed as follows:

  1. go to the Java Perspective
  2. Open the context menu of the "base" project with a right click on it
  3. Go to the "Java Build Path" section
  4. Tick the export checkbox on the jar that you want to share with other projects

You can double check this setting in the raw .classpath file. The classpathentry of the thirdparty jar should have the attribute 'exported=true'.

You have to add the library to the Java Build Path in your project.

Open the java perspective -> Right click on your project -> Properties -> Java Build Path

There you can add .jar files from projects in your workspace
