public class ImportTask extends Task
Task to import another build file into the current project.

It must be 'top level'. On execution it will read another Ant file into the same Project.

Important: Trying to understand how relative file references resolved in deep/complex build hierarchies - such as what happens when an imported file imports another file can be difficult. Use absolute references for enhanced build file stability, especially in the imported files.

Examples:

 <import file="../common-targets.xml"/>
 

Import targets from a file in a parent directory.

 <import file="${deploy-platform}.xml"/>
 

Import the project defined by the property deploy-platform.
