Advice #1: Build your project using Ant and command-line tools. That will help you understand 
what Eclipse is doing.

Ideally Project A will come to Project B as a JAR, e.g., "projectA.jar".

This is not really the way to look at it. One moment ...

That is because both JARs are in your classpath.

That is not correct.

It is because "3rdparty.1.0.1.jar" is ahead of "3rdparty.1.0.3.jar" in the classpath.

Just remove "3rdparty.1.0.1.jar" from the classpath.

Problems that the Project B cannot compile because it uses a newer version of "3rdparty".

But of course.

Unless "3rdparty" really screwed up backwards compatibility, remove the old version from 
the classpath.

Otherwise, put Project A after "3rdparty.1.0.3.jar" in your classpath for Project B.

Read up on classpaths.

Have Eclipse use the Ant build.xml.
