I have a problem concerning referenced projects and I need to ask this question. This has already been asked here "Export" button in Eclipse CDT "Paths and Symbols" dialog? but I consider the answer to this old question to be unsatisfactory (could be my bad, though) so I am kindly asking for someone to further clarify.
What is the logic of a dependee project 'exporting' one of its own include paths to dependent projects? In what way is this needed?
I am asking this because I am unable to make Eclipse properly detect changes in dependee projects and perhaps this is related. See Eclipse CDT not building project on header file change
Thanks and sorry if this is weird but I believe a clarification is in order.
