Eclipse plugin development: How to include another project?

I'm developing a Eclipse plugin. From this plugin I want to instantiate classes from another project that I have developed. I added this project to the build path, but nevertheless, I get the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: myPackage.myClass
    at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClassInternal(BundleLoader.java:513)
    at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClass(BundleLoader.java:429)
    at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClass(BundleLoader.java:417)
    at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.baseadaptor.DefaultClassLoader.loadClass(DefaultClassLoader.java:107)
    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
    ... 38 more

I'm sure that I have to add the refernce to this project somewere else, but where? Any hints?

You can create a dependent plugin (as Francis suggested), or add it as a library jar. Both methods are described here.

You should make your other project a plugin and then add it to your original plugin's manifest as a dependent plugin.

I had the same problem and solved it by adding a link to the other projects source folder as source folder to my project. However, I do not know whether this is the best possibility.
