Phonegap: possible to exclude certain files/folders from the apk?

I'm using Phonegap in Eclipse (with the ADT plugin).

I have a big framework that I use for my normal HTML projects. This framework is full of js, css and graphics files.

For convenience I included the whole framework inside my Phonegap project, since I might need something from the framework later.

But when I build the apk, all files from the framework are included in the apk, which makes it bigger than 10MB. Most of the files are never used in the project, so I need to find a simple way to exclude those files/folders from the build.

Any suggestions?

This excludes the whole ./www/app directory from the .apk build:

<property name="aapt.ignore.assets" value="&lt;dir&gt;app:" />

I've documented how to do this using build.xml on Coderwall:

I hope this helps somebody out!

use the ant build process, remove the files before apk is made in the pre-compile method of the ant build process.
