Thanks. I'll take your advice. When I have some time, I'll try to redo
my procedure under ant, if for no other reason than to learn how to do
it
in an Eclipse environment (I've used ant before, but never under
Eclipse).

By the way, one thing I noticed is that in the non-ant enviroment,
it's
hard (impossible?) for me to get the dependencies right. I only want
my class to get auto-generated when strings.xml has changed. I know
that managing dependencies like that is trivial under ant.

Also, I can't figure out how to get my auto-generated class to refresh
in the IDE after it gets re-created. I have to select Refresh or hit
F5
in order for any changes to be noticed. If I use ant, will I be able
to
force the refresh as part of the build?
