<p>The Importurl task will download a file, and import it's contents into the
current project. The file can be in the form of a standard ant .xml project
- file, or a .jar/.zip file. In the case of a .jar/.zip file, the file is downloaded
- and then decompressed. After decompression, the file 'build.xml' at the root
- level of the jar is imported.</p>

+ <p>In the case of an .xml file, the file is downloaded, and imported as

The build.xml file must follow the same rules as any other file imported with the
&lt;import&gt; task, in that references relative to the build.xml file must be
made with the property:
ant.file.&lt;projectname&gt;
