title: Android assets folder not supported by Eclipse
body: <p>I'm trying to load some custom XML data into an Android application, so I put it in the assets folder so I can read it. However Eclipse won't let me build my project; it says "invalid resource directory name" for the assets folder! I thought assets was a valid folder name in an Android project?</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing? Did the folder somehow get some metadata that marks it as a resource folder instead of an asset folder? Or is the assets folder only supported in newer versions of Android? (I'm using SDK level 10)</p>
