+	 * and the dependency is captured by inclusion of one project on the classpath for the other. When the first project is built,
+	 * we need to check the classpath element on the second projects classpath that represents the bin folder of the first project.
+	 * By explicitly returning a list here we can avoid checking EVERYTHING.
