It turned out that a working solution is to use Eclipse .project and .classpath files as suggested in: #3582

Sample project:
multi-xref.zip

For somebody with no previous experience with Eclipse, this seems a bit complex.

Is this documented somewhere?

.classpath file of project p2 which refers to source in project common:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
    <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>
    <classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>
    <classpathentry kind="src" path="common"/>
    <classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/>
</classpath>

.project file of project p2:

<projectDescription>
    <name>p2</name>
