AFAIK Java/Eclipse can't handle cyclic dependencies. It might work if 
the dependencies are build step by step but a clean build will not run.

In such situations I always split the projects in a way that the 
dependencies build a directed graph. I.e. extract the part of A where B 
depends on into a separate jar file and the part of B where A depends on 
also. In some cases a fifth project may be needed where both extracted 
projects depend on. It might also be required to apply PIMPL to remove 
dependencies.

If nothing helps you might create a mock project with the public API but 
without any content and, of course, no dependencies. This project is 
only used to compile the dependent project. It is never used at run 
time. I have seen something like that at SAP PI.
