Merged idea
This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit RBD-I-90 No generation of java classes from referenced projects in the refering project..

No generation of java classes from referenced projects in the refering project. Merged

When project A is referencing project B java classes (record definitions etc) of project B are regenerated into project A. This leads to deployment and versioning problems and shouldn't be necessary because a java buildpath reference can be made on development time and a classpath reference can be made on runtime to get the required classes.
Paul Hoffman and Brian Svihovec are aware of this issue.
