------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2005-11-13 23:29 -------
Additional desired requirement:  the <import> task should accomodate redundant
imports, either by importing each build file only once per Ant invocation OR by
simply behaving well (i.e. not generating errors or warnings) when importing a
given build file more than once per Ant invocation.

This will eliminate messy Ant "exclude" logic in many cases.  For example,
consider a subpackage which relies on the parent package to import all build
files for that package.  If the Ant invocation started with the subpackage build
file, then that build file will already have been read in when the parent
package attempts to import all the subpackage build scripts (using a <fileset>).

It's quite a pain to code each subpackage to exclude itself from the parent
package's bulk import of the subpackage build scripts.  I already struggle with
this in my hierarchical build scripts which current <import> each subpackage
build file separately.  This "smart import" feature will make a big difference
in usability.
