It is, you would need to link the projects. Right click on 

Project2 > Properties > Java Build Path > Projects > Add

then select your project.

If your project is in a different workspace than use 

Project2 > Properties > Java Build Path > Folder > Link Source

select your folder.

Yes...you can..

1. What you can do is create a jar of the project you're getting the class from via Export->Java->JAR file and put that file into your project. This will let you access the class you need while still keeping your projects self-contained.

2. Use import, and voila....you now have the access.....

/////////////////////Edited///////////////////////

Use this to import the project in your current project...

In eclipse do this...

Build Path ---> Configure Path ----> Click Project Tab ---> Add the project.

But still using Jar is much more easier while importing and exporting..and you can give the version numbers to jar, and can mention the changes in them...
