Hi: I want to release multiple applications to android marketplace which are all very slightly customized based on a code base. I can't just change the package indentifier in the AndroidManifest.xml file because several other things dependet on this like action identifiers and so on. What is the best approach to release several apps based on one eclipse project with the same code base?

Because the Google Play Store does not allow multiple APKs for the same app that all have the same version information, you need to ensure each APK has its own unique versionCode before you upload to the Play Store. You can configure your module-level build. gradle file to override the versionCode for each APK.
No, every app should have a unique package name. If you install an app with a package name which is already used in another installed app, then it will replace it.
You need to create a library project and reference it from every of your apps. Latest versions of ADT plugin allow this. Go to the project properties, android page, you'll see a 'library' checkmark there. Reference to the library is also setup on the page.
