pipeline

I'm creating a game on the android platform that uses the resources/raw folder for assets and scripts. The problem is that every time I change something I have to rebuild the application to test the new variant. Of course this is bad for iteration times.

Any ideas about what I can do to avoid rebuilding every time I change something? This *.apk format is getting on my nerves now that I have to recreate it every time I change a word in my scripts.

Or at least how to make eclipse auto-rebuild every time I change something in my resources folder so that I don't have to go to Project->Build every time?
