We thought about extending <import> to get a resource (JAR, URL, ...), but
there is one "problem": a project must have a basedir from where you could do
calculate all the paths. Not really easy - if possible. What is "/"?
So you cant use the bunch of buildfiles from an archive.
But you can extract these files ...
And (I tested this) you can do this in your main buildfile:
imported-buildfiles.zip contains only b.xml:
<project name="B">
<echo>${ant.project.name}</echo>
<target name="imported">
<echo>imported</echo>
</target>
</project>
build.xml is:
<project>
<unzip src="imported-buildfiles.zip" dest="."/>
<import file="b.xml"/>
</project>
$dir
14.09.2007 08:44 102 build.xml
14.09.2007 08:42 192 imported-buildfiles.zip
$ant -p
Buildfile: build.xml
[unzip] Expanding: C:\TEMP\ant-test\imported-buildfiles.zip into
C:\TEMP\ant-test
[echo] ${ant.project.name}
