UPDATE: The 2nd part of that sentence is not true; it will always add
the resulting jar file of project3. However, it will create jar file on
the fly when the webapp is re/deployed OR when project3 is modified.
Keep in mind that this is simply a quick & dirty way of testing the app
from within Eclipse and NOT suitable for building a deployable war file.
You should use Maven or Ant or etc. for that.

This feature does not appear to require the Maven plug-in.
