I'm working on windows and don't wanted to copy the whole source tree to another location. And copy again on updates etc. So I used the possibility to insert a symbolic link which works since Windows Vista like a charm (or like Linux). For Linux you have to look at the Joe's comment under fsbmain's answer.

Assuming you have the platform in D:\sdk\platforms\android-19. Now you have to make a subdirectory sources and after that create a relative link to the real sources folder.

D:\sdk\platforms\android-19>mkdir sources
D:\sdk\platforms\android-19>cd sources
D:\sdk\platforms\android-19\sources>mklink /D android-19 ..\..\..\sources\android-19

Now restart Eclipse ... Done!
