The idea of the ANT_IMPORT_PATH is to provide a list of possible locations to import a file from. Our shop places software either in $HOME/local (if you're compiling from source and do an "ant install"), $HOME/rpm (if you've installed from an rpm), or / (if installed as root). This setup would allow me to set ANT_IMPORT_PATH to "$HOME/local:$HOME/rpm:/" and include the file with a simple import statement. I'm looking to place the search paths in a variable (similar to CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH for g++ compiler) and have the import task use the first found file.
If I use the current implementation, I'd have to add a number of path elements to the build.xml file. I prefer to keep the build.xml file as small and clean as possible, so I'd prefer not to do this.
