I would like to use one of my eclipse projects in another one. Is there a 'smooth' way to do that, without having to export one as a jar file and importing it into another? Especially since I work on both project simultaneously, I would like the latest changes from the imported project to be automatically built and imported into the other one. Is that possible?

It is possible. Right click on your project -> Build Path -> Configure Build Path. Switch to the Projects tab and add one. It will work as a library.

Answer to this question explains how to import your own library in eclipse.

Quoting from the answer.

Just have "Project" reference your "Library", on windows the process is (using menu / tab names)

  1. Go to: Project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Projects
  2. Client Add...
  3. Select your "Library" project from the list
  4. Click Ok
  5. Click the other Ok Now your done and you can use import for classes in your "Library"
