Dependency between two Eclipse projects: how to add one's classpath into second's?

Question

I'm working on two projects A and B:

• A is a Maven project that has Guava as dependency, and is packaged into a JAR;
• B is a classic web project (i.e. without Maven), is packaged into a WAR, and uses A's JAR.

A and B both are Eclipse projects. To make B able to use A's classes without having to re-package A each time, I right-clicked on B in Eclipse > Properties > Deployment Assembly > Add > Project > A.

B thus compiles, but on runtime, when I call a class of A that uses Guava, I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError caused by a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException, since B doesn't have Guava into its classpath (even though he has A).

Any idea how to proceed?

You should add guava-library in the deployment assembly. =)
