Which up and coming Ant release will this be included? I have a real
need for this as I have many Ant XML files that would be better suited
to live in a Jar and be Ivy-tized ;)

This is really good progress. Is there any technical issue to enable remote
ant build file by http or whatever?
The goal is to enable to start writting a build just referencing a remote
build file (may be cached in a temp that would be used if remote
unavailable) and to share build among several project easily...

I added a bug to the bug database and attached a patch that adds the
same classpath functionality as taskdef to the import task.

In a previous post I suggest this:
I wish Ant import would support URL + jar like that :
<project ...>
<import url="http://repo/build.jar!common-build.xml"/>
</project>
As ivy became a sub project, it would make sense to have a closer
integration like :
<project ...>
<import url="ivy://settings.xml:org/module/[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />
<!--
would locate the settings.xml file and seek a build-common.xml file using
MyResolver resolver.
-->
</project>
we could imagine deeper integration :
<project ...>
<import url="ivy://settings.xml:org/module/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
ivyFile="${basedir]/ivy.xml"/>
<!--
configure ivy / read the ivy file
would map each ivy configuration to a path ( path could use a lazy
resolve
proxy: resolve only when it get used)
would import resolved artifcat as an ant build file
-->
</project>

Hi,
I know there's not currently a way to do this, but I think it would be
very helpful to be able to use the import task to import a file from a
jar.
This way, when I have a handful of projects, all with common targets, I
can put the common.xml build file in a jar and have each project depend
on that jar.
Combined with something like ivy, I think this would be a pretty good
way to share common targets among multiple projects that may not have
anything to do with each other.
Any thoughts?
Any way to do this now?
