http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28882 Add if and unless attributes to ProjectComponent. Summary: Add if and unless attributes to ProjectComponent. Product: Ant Version: 1.7Alpha (nightly) Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The ProjectComponent object should have a setIf and setUnless method. If the property is not set, the component is not take into account. If it's not possible It should be at least possible in the Task object. This feature would add some flexibility in Ant file by removing copy/paste for similar targets or by removing extra targets created only for the purpose of the if/unless. This feature has been discussed on Ant developer mailing list at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108369006500001&r=1&w=2 Examples <echo message="username property not set using ${user.name}" unless="username"/> <property name="username" value="${user.name}/> <copy dir="dest"> <fileset dir="src"> <excluse name="test/**/*" unless="testing"/> </fileset> </copy> <!-- In this case it's the caller who set the condition --> <antcall target="upload-files" if="uptodate"/> <checksum file="foo.bar" if="file-exists"/> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
