The documentation of the ImportTool needs to be fixed

The documentation of the ImportTool at http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/tools/view/ImportTool.html has a toolbox configuration example of:

<tool>
<key>import</key>
<scope>session</scope>
<class>org.apache.velocity.tools.view.tools.ImportTool</class>
</tool>

with the scope set to 'session'.

This needs to be changed to 'request' as stated in the JavaDoc, as having it as session causes some very unpredictable behaviour.
