Add android eclipse library to unity3d project

Question

I have an android library in the form of an eclipse project that I want to integrate with unity3d. I know I can make a jar from eclipse and drop it in unity's plugins/android folder. However as I understand it that necessarily strips out the resources from the project.

If I export the unity game to an eclipse project, I can right-click and add the android project as a library. However I don't like this approach because it doesn't fit with our current automation process - which basically just script's unity's build dialog.

I'd like a way to tell unity that I want this eclipse project linked as an android library on export. Does anyone know a way to do that, or how to pack the resources into the jar or another way of getting this stuff to talk?

Answer 1

One possible way to go is using Unity's Build Player Pipeline . Depending on the platform you are working on you then have to set up a shell script or do your stuff in C#.

It's some year ago that I were a Java/Eclipse expert as I am working on iOS now. The Android Developers page shows some way to manipulate projects via command line .

Maybe the better way to go is using Eclipse switches like --import (s. 1st answer in Create an Eclipse project on the command line? and the link provided) but on the other hand I can't find the switch in the help pages .

Well, not really a bounty answer but maybe some inspiration :-)

Answer 2

The only real answer I've found is that in 4.2, you can drop an eclipse project in plugins/android and it will be linked correctly. Just have to hang on I suppose. :-/
