I hate causing my own problems... dammit.

So I had two Eclipse projects with directories

 com.mysite.application..
 com.mysite.framework..
and
 com.mysite2.application..
 com.mysite2.framework..

I created a new project with com.my.framework... which consolidated the
shared code.

For some bizarre reason the only way I could get the projects to access
the shared code I had to use:
 build path-->link additional source to project -->create new folder
pointing to the shared code

Seemed to work for one project but no I am all screwed up.

The framework code is complaining of unsolved types - despite the
imports correct (and I can f3 and see the definition of the "missing"
objects).

Not sure what to do now...
