How to add external jar libraries to an android project from the command line

by

Jay K’s answer was right at the time of writing, but now the SDK has changed, and here is the new way to do it:

Add the following line to ant.properties:

jar.libs.dir=lib

Tested, works where external.libs.dir does not work.
That changed in December 2010 and then again in October 2011.
