From java project to package

Question

I am in the following situation: I have two projects in Eclipse(MainProject, SideProject).

Both are Eclipse java project, with their src folders, their libraries and so on...what I aim for is to have the MainProject and the SideProject as a package of the MainProject. The ultimate purpose is to write a servlet inside the MainProject that can launch/stop/restart the SideProject, so I can run both of them simply by launching the MainProject.

Is it possible? For some reason is vital that the SideProject is a package INSIDE the MainProject!

Answer 1

You can add a package to MainProject 's src folder, by right-clicking on the source folder, selecting New, and New package. If you completed this, just copy all files from the SideProject 's src folder to this new package.
