There is a magic property associated with each imported build file
which contains
the name of the build file. This is ant.file.NAME_OF_PROJECT_OF_BUILD_FILE.
This gets set if the build file has a name attribute and this name is
unique in the set
of imported build files. One can use the <dirname> task to get the directory
of the build file.
For example:
<project name="common">
<dirname property="common.dir" file="${ant.file.common}"/>
</project>
