Android Library assets folder doesn't get copied

Answer 1

From Eclipse and ANT you can reference the same "assets" folder from multiple projects. This allows your source tree to have a single copy of the assets files, but have them included in multiple APKs.

See Android: targeted res folders for debugging in eclipse

From ProjectA I was able to reference ..\ProjectA\Assets from ProjectB. On Eclipse (under Windows at least, I've not tried on Linux yet), I had to create a new variable to reference ..\ProjectA and use that variable in "Linked Folder Location". If I attempted to use ".." in "Linked Folder Location" eclipse wouldn't accept it.
