Really? I've never gotten library references to work correctly, at least in Eclipse. I thought it was always broken. I'm convinced that Eclipse was created to torture programmers, and that most everyone who claims to like it is suffering from a variant of Stockholm Syndrome [1]... Most recently, I finally got sick of Eclipse failing to produce repeatable builds, and got an Ant build script set up for doing release builds. And now I can't successfully build in Eclipse at all, despite the addition of a build.xml being the only change. Can't find a setting to get it to ignore build.xml. Piece of worthless garbage. If anyone happens to know of a way to get Eclipse to ignore build.xml, it would be nice to know it. The Ant migration was also an adventure, since the Android build scripts don't support the concept of external libraries actually living in external folders -- or if they do, I couldn't figure out how to make it work. All the help I could find in forums and on StackOverflow just said "copy the jar files...", which was only half the problem (I have library CODE as well that isn't built into jar files, so I want multiple source folders), and is frankly a pathetic solution (yes I have lots of hard drive space, but why waste space AND slow the build down when the script can just reference them where they live?). So I had to copy big parts of the Ant build system and customize them in ways I shouldn't have had to. I hate Java AND Ant, and will never completely forgive Google for making Android Java based. Yes, I do NDK development. I hear that IntelliJ is an improvement over Eclipse...I'll have to give it a try when I get a chance. I only use Eclipse for Java anyway, since the C++ module I tried was so completely broken, and I don't even know if it has a Lua module, which is what 90% of my code is written in...
