Hmm, adding Project B to Project A's build path is the correct way to do 
it. The only other thing I can think to check is that the class in 
Project B is actually public.

I guess I should ask some more obvious questions, like:
Is it a class that you actually have source for, as opposed to in a JAR 
in Project B?
Does the class compile correctly in Project B and can it be used from 
other classes in Project B?

Hope this helps,
