To begin, I have found instructions which will work for a couple simple projects.
How to link project in eclipse
If I create two projects the same way as described below (Project 1), I can interact between the two projects without any difficulty.
However, using steps below and the instructions from How to link project in eclipse, the projects will not interact.
Project 1 - Duck
I created a new project (File -> New -> Java Project -> Named: Duck). Inside the project, I created a new package (duck_duck). Inside the package, I created a new class (Duck)
public class Duck {
public static void quack() {
System.out.println("QUACK!!!!!");
}
}
Project 2 - Barn
I created a new Spring MVC Project (File -> New -> Spring Project -> Spring MVC Project -> Named: barn). Top-level package: com.gov.barn. Inside HomeController.home(), I placed the following code
System.out.println("Barn ... ");`
try {
Duck.quack();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
System.out.println(" ... barn");`

Any suggestions on where to look or how to proceed?
