    Actually, there are 3 places of relevance in the project properties:
    1) Java Build Path/Projects tab (so this framework gets its dependent frameworks in its classpath at compile time)
    2) Java Build Path/Order and Export tab (so any dependent frameworks also get exported to depending frameworks' and applications' classpath)
    3) Project References, so Eclipse build order and incremental build works as expected.

    If you are using a team provider, you may need to make sure that all the relevant files are checked out before you start - when manipulating dependencies, I always check out the entire project first...

Subject: Funky Generated Classpath

    We have several applications that depend on a mutli-level set of 
frameworks.  For example:
Application A
    -> Framework A
    -> Framework B
    -> Framework C
       -> Framework D
          -> Framework E
    -> Framework F

    We would expect that if we were to include Framework C in our 
application, as long as it exposes D and E, we would not have to import 
D and E as well, just the parent framework C.

    Did I lose everyone yet?

    Let's call the framework we wish to import "Base".  Base includes 
several other frameworks - "Logging" and "Utils", for example.

    When I set Base as a required project on the build path using the latest 
of both WOLips and Eclipse, I still have to include Logging and Utils 
separately.

    Is this the way it is supposed to be?

    Thanks!
