namespaced targets via 

I've know about this, but a friend just brought it up to me again and 
maybe I've mentioned this before....

imported.xml
    <project name="imported">
      <target name="some-target"/>
    </project>

build.xml
    <project name="build">
      <import file="imported.xml">
      <target name="another-target" depends="imported.some-target"/>
    </project>

Doesn't work, since some-target is not overridden.

It would be nice if all imported build file targets were namespaced 
regardless of whether the targets were overridden or not.

What are the implications of making this change?

Thanks,
	Erik

Yes, it would be nice to have this too.

Also any idea about how difficult it would be to have all properties 
defined in imported builds also be "namespaced", to avoid collisions?

+1 - as an alternative to using the unadorned target name.
