If your suggestion means to have two copies of the code at the lower-level, once in the top-level project, and once in the separately imported project, then that doesn't do me much good.  That would mean I'd have to change both copies each time I made a change.  I know this, as that's what I was doing before.

In any case, I guess I've found a reasonable compromise.  I deleted the project that was pointing at the lower level, and I now have just the top-level aggregator.  At least with this I can do "Open Type", and it will find the Java classes in the lower levels.  Where this causes problems is that it won't let me use this project to create a Debug configuration (it's not in the list, perhaps because it doesn't think it's a Java project).  Instead, I simply created a debug configuration from some project, it doesn't matter which one, and then I added source folders to the debug configuration.  I now only have one copy of the source, and I can set breakpoints in the Java code.
