No, except perhaps if you switch to using Maven for your Eclipse builds.

You have to try to convert the AAR into a more-or-less regular Android library project. This Stack Overflow answer provides a recipe, and this blog post of mine provides more information on the process.

However, using Eclipse with the ADT plugin is no longer a good idea, as official support for that will end by the end of the year.
