How do I make Android's APK packager ignore tags files?

Question

I build my tags file from the src directory of my android project. I like this directory because there's no actual source code there, just top-level packages, and it's a parent directory for all of my source.

If I develop an Android Library project and use it in my Android project, then I get errors about duplicated files being added to the APK:

[2011-04-16 12:36:05 - myproject] Error generating final archive: Found duplicate file for APK: tags
Origin 1: ~/code/android/myproject/src/tags
Origin 2: ~/code/android/LibListenScreen/src/tags

How can I prevent this error? My current workaround is to delete the library's tags, but that's no good.

Marking the files as Derived (in file's Properties) doesn't work. Neither does using a resource filter (in project properties). These are both Eclipse settings, but I can't find any related Android settings within Eclipse.

Don't put files that are not source code in src/.

You are welcome to create a pydave/ directory in your project and put the tags file there.
