So, would something like:
<ifThen test="isset('XXX') && '${a}' = '${b}'">
....
</ifThen>
Not that I am proposing something concrete.
But this would require defining a proper expression evaluation language
for it.
This would be equivalent to the more verbose:
<if>
<and>
<isset property="XXX"/>
<equals arg1="${a}" arg2="${b}"/>
</and>
<then>
....
</then>
</if>
Or something simillar. But this is not something simple at all.
