Logic crossed with fail's if attribute

[Ingmar Stein]

Hi all,

the following target

 <target name="check" description="Checks if property file is present">
  <available file="xnbs.properties" property="available.properties"/>
  <echo message="available.properties=${available.properties}"/>
  <fail message="**** Error: the file xnbs.properties is not present ****"
unless="xnbs.properties"/>
 </target>

gives this output:

check:
     [echo] available.properties=true

BUILD FAILED
/home/tester/build.xml:21: **** Error: the file xnbs.properties is not
present ****

As you can see, the file is present, but the build fails.
It doesn't fail if I replace the "unless" with an "if".
Shouldn't that be the other way around?

I guess one logic is reversed, either mine or it's the following snippet of
Exit.java:

    private boolean testIfCondition() {
        if (ifCondition == null || "".equals(ifCondition)) {
            return true;
        }

        return project.getProperty(ifCondition) != null;
    }

    private boolean testUnlessCondition() {
        if (unlessCondition == null || "".equals(unlessCondition)) {
            return true;
        }
        return project.getProperty(unlessCondition) == null;
    }

Cheers,

Ingmar
