It is...take a look at the build.xml for ant. I don't believe that conditional compilation can or should be automagic based on the source, developers need some way of expressing what is required vs what is optional. Today that is done with nested exclude tags. Perhaps we should deprecate the if= attribute on tasks. Contrast the cocoon1 build.xml (which is based on conditional tasks) with the cocoon2 build.xml (which is based on excludes on the javac task) in terms of clarity and maintainability. - Sam Ruby
