The code is now in the independent project common/import-parsers.

Unfortunately, the refactoring to common has made getting this code to 
work more difficult (http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-18808).

The steps to get all import functionality to work properly:

   1) Manually build the samigo-import JAR (another independent project) 
and deploy to components/import-pack/WEB-INF/lib

   2) Move the sakai-import-announcement JAR from 
components/sakai-anouncement-pack (yes, anouncement spelled with one n) 
to components/import-pack/WEB-INF/lib

   3) Merge the components.xml file from 
components/sakai-anouncement-pack/WEB-INF to 
components/import-pack/WEB-INF/components.xml

   4) Remove the components/sakai-anouncement-pack dir

   5) Make sure the bb6 JARs are also in components/import-pack/WEB-INF/lib

   6) Make sure everything is uncommented in 
components/import-pack/WEB-INF/components.xml
