You need to create a project that creates a JAR file as its target, then use that JAR file in other projects. I am sure there is some magic incantation, probably involving pentagrams drawn in chicken blood, to get Eclipse to do that. :-) Outside of Eclipse, using Ant, it's about a 15 second operation once you have the pattern in hand. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
