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: we have not finalized how relative file references will be resolved in deep/complex build hierarchies -such as what happens when an imported file imports another file. 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
