Answer 1

Use a Library Project just for the Support Library

As of ADT 22, using Eclipse Juno

I don't think any of the above are really the best answers. I also don't think it is recommended to use the external jar function in Eclipse anymore (AFAIK).

Rather, what worked for me is to create a separate empty library project.

Then use Android tools > Add Support Library to get the latest version you need or want.

Then remove the support lib jar from all other projects.

Finally, for every project that requires it, add a reference to your new Library project

(project properties) > Android > (Library box) > Add...

Then all your projects will have a single source to use and update the support library. This also makes javadocs easier to get working.
