How to reference another project in Eclipse with Google appengine project?

Question

I am trying to extract some common classes out to be a common jar, and I want to reference it by the appengine project in Eclipse.

It compiles well but could not run. The console just told that some classes from the common jar project could not be found.

I know I can just export the project into a jar, but I may want to change it sometimes, so I prefer keep it dynamic.

And I know maven may be an option but there is no official maven support for appengine, and I will not try to learn it.

Then how can I make it work?

Answer 1

Use the maven-gae-plugin. It works well and you mentioned you know Maven already.

Answer 2

Use a linked source folder, see this thread for more details.
