I am trying to develop my application in different Eclipse Java projects where each will contain a certain feature. Then I want to combine them in one complete Java project.
However, I have a problem when linking the sources.
The sub-projects can correctly refer to parent-project classes but some of the source files that are accessed by the parent projects cannot be identified in the sub-projects.
I have a workspace/ParentProject/src/main/resources/file, where in the ParentProject I am accessing with “src\main\resources\” from within Java.
However, at runtime the ChildProject throws an exception that they cannot access the file : ‘file:/E:/Eclipse%20workspace/ChildProject/src/main/resources/file’
So, when using a method of the ParentProject from the ChildProject, the classpath is somewhat transfered to the ChildProject. My question is how to resolve this.
I hope I made it clear what the problem is and will be really appreciative for any help.
Regards,
Petar
Btw: It is explained there How to link project in eclipse but I still have the error, that the child project cannot access resources accessed by the parent project.
Although I am not entirely sure what you need to do, it sounds to me that you are trying to create circular dependencies, which is an anti-pattern. You want to avoid creating dependencies where project a depends on project b, but project b also depends on project a. If you provide more details on your use case and what you are trying to create I will be happy to provide some guidance as to how you could structure your dependencies.
Hope this helps.
