A few months ago (possibly two), I mentioned the need for what I’m calling ‘inter-project dependency resultion’. I’m defining this as a JSP/Web project needing the libraries and output of another Eclipse project (most frequently a project to define a taglib).
At the time, it was recomemded to me that I ‘export’ my taglib project into my JSP project, and every time I made a change, export again. The problems I had at the time concerning the work-around was the manual step (my JSP project depends on three other libraries, so updating/exporting things can get cumbersom) plus this solution didn’t deliver the libraries for these dependencies (i.e.: I need the class files for the library, plus the libraries to build/run the library). It was also mentioned at the time that inter-project dependencies were going to be addressed in a future (soon) version.
Since this time, 2.5, 2.51 and 2.6 have been released, but none of the announcements have mentioned anything about dependency resolution.
What is the intended time-frame for implementing/releasing a feature that can resolve inter-project dependnecies? The lack of this feature is probably the biggest deterent from me purchasing a subscription.
Otherwise, great project!!
We definitely understand the need for dependent projects and its at the top of our new feature list. Development is working on it now. I can not commit to a timeframe yet but expect it in the next month or two because of its importance.

MyEclipse SupportI have the same problem…One “resource” project (generic JSPs, CSS, etc.) and Three or more “jar” projects that must be merged (packaged in JARs or exploded) into a main WAR project….
Is there any good news here?
