Answer 1

Right click your project > Properties > Java build path > Libraries > Add Class Folder

But it is much better to package these classes as a .jar and add it with Add JARs from the same screen. Another way is to make one project depend on another (whose classes are those in question).

Now, if you mean .java files rather than .class files, you just add a Source folder from the first tab on the Java build path screen. And be sure to make the distinction between .java and .class files.

Answer 2

There is a difference between folder and source folder. Right-click the folder and use Build Path/Use as Source Folder menu option.
