I managed to do it without updating the imports, but it is pretty nasty besides that.
I have two projects, lets call them A and B. All the directories in project B are actually just SVN externals that reference the directories of project A: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch07s03.html Therefore the only thing different about project B, when it is fully up to date with the repository, is the AndroidManifest.xml. That's a duplicate except that I change the package name. The code can tell the package being used via Context#getPackageName. Project B has project A in its Java build path in Eclipse, so all the R class imports written for project A work even in project B. Occasionally there is a random build error and I have to remove project A from the build path and put it back, or open and close the project. I saw someone mention that aapt can be used manually to generate the R class in a different package than normal. So maybe a cleaner way to do this, without giving up and doing the change all the imports thing each build, is to use that to generate an R class for B that is in A's package. That would remove the scary hack of having project B access its own resources via project A's R class, which just happens to be generated with the same values because all the files are the same.
