I have been successful breaking out common classes into separate Eclipse projects and exporting them as .jar files, and referencing the .jar files in other Eclipse projects, as long as they do not reference resources. If they need to reference resources, well, it just seems it is not possible at this point. For the parts of the Android code that reference resources I am pretty much just copy/ pasting between projects.
