Eclipse plugin project depends on java project

Question

I have an eclipse plugin project which depends on a java project in my eclipse. usually what i did is export the project as a jar and use it as is in the plugin. but this requires manual work. can I get a link from my plugin project to a java project that will be both compile time and runtime?
I saw a similar question , but not exactly the same.

Answer 1

I think the closest thing to this is to create a jar file from the mentioned project and import it into the project repository. But this is quite difficult to do for the project being developed.

On the other hand, is it not possible to simply convert a Java project into a plugin on an ongoing basis? If another user does not use OSGi / Eclipse, he / she will only see the manifest / manifest.mf file (and possibly plugin.xml) next to the specific material for the java project, so this will not stop them, but you will help.
