jsonImport or JSONToArray

[Andre Alves Garzia]

As you folks may have seen earlier today, I've shipped a new product 
here on the list. While I was building the demo stack for this plugin, I 
had the same problem as you describe. In my case it boiled down to the 
automatic inclusions not working, I ended up needing to do manual 
inclusions and then it worked.
