Can we get more detail on this? Sounds like a pretty terrible regression if import doesn't work anymore. Any way we can fix this rather than taking it away? I think you may have some pretty frustrated users if you do that, since that would break a lot of code I should think. Is there a bug to look at?

Import have _never_ worked correctly. The problem is that rake defines a global import-method on Kernel, which clashes with our Java integration import. The way I discovered this was when writing my book, I created an example that imported Java code in the Rails lib-directory. But as soon as I tried to do rake db:migrate or rake test, it failed because the files in lib couldn't be loaded. This was back in April/May, and the JIRA issues dates back to then.

Cheers
