How can I speed up the packaging of external jars into an apk in eclipse?

I have an android project which has four external jar files in the libs folder. When I build the project, it takes 5 minutes to package these jar files into an apk.

These jar files were a开发者_如何学运维dded as described in How can I use external JARs in an Android project?

According to the Console, it appears that Dalvik is processing each file in the jar:

[2011-10-12 13:01:53 - MyProject] Dx processing org/some/file.class

I'm not going to change these libraries, so it seems like a waste of time and really slows down my development.

What's the best approach to dealing with this issue?

I've had similar symptoms. Please make sure that eclipse.ini doesn't contains a similar line:

CompileThreshold=5

If it does, just remove any CompileThreshold specifications from your config.
