Adding project dependency to web project in Eclipse

Question

I have a Dynamic Web Project that gets deployed as a WAR that I have created in Eclipse. The project depends on 2 other small projects. I have them marked for export, and have them on the build path, but Eclipse warns me that it will not be exported, and sure enough, I get a ClassNotFoundException when I try to compile.

If need be, I can pull all the java files into a .zip file, but I don't know how to add a .zip file as a dependency. I'm sure I'm making this harder than it needs to be.

Answer 1

Open the web project's Properties dialog (context menu, or Project menu from the menu bar) and go to the Deployment Assembly page. This is where you tell it to also make them jars when deploying.
