With 1.4, you could use the new <condition> task:
<target name="setProp">
<condition property="num" value="1">
<equals arg1="${foo}" arg2="true"/>
</condition>
<condition property="num" value="2">
<equals arg1="${foo}" arg2="false"/>
</condition>
<echo message="num is ${num}"/>
</target>
(In pre-1.4, you'd need to use the <script> task.)
