Resource references across different modules of the same project are not
supported because of eclipse workspace limitations -- there is no easy
way to properly support incremental build. If somebody provides a
quality patch to make this work reliable I'll be willing to consider,
but I am not sure if this is possible without eclipse platform changes,
which are NOT coming afaik.

Maybe there's hope:

"The Import Projects wizard now has an option to continue searching for projects to import recursively within any project it finds. This allows you to import physically nested projects at the same time."

The Platform team acknowledged that the problem exists, it's a good start :)
