I've found examples, notably this
example
in which people say they are getting access to resources in Android/Processing apps.  Are all these examples
using Eclipse, or is there some way to induce the build process to incorporate assets?   Like butterbr0 I would like to put icons in menus, but I've used Eclipse and I really hate it. Would love to at least find some documentation about how to control the build process that's triggered when you invoke 'Export Android Project'.

Thanks.
