Expect examples by Sunday. But here is an example for a very simple
file (setenv.xml) which I have introduced into the branch. Right now
it reads:
----
<condition property="iswindows">
<os family="windows"/>
</condition>
<target name="libsubdir.if.windows" if="iswindows">
<property name="libsubdir" value="bin"/>
</target>
<target name="libsubdir.if.not.windows" unless="iswindows">
<property name="libsubdir" value="lib"/>
</target>
<target name="setenv"
depends="libsubdir.if.windows, libsubdir.if.not.windows">
<propertyfile file="env.properties">
<entry key="qtjambi.libsubdir" value="${libsubdir}"/>
</propertyfile>
</target>
----
With ant-contrib, this becomes:
----
<target name="setenv">
<var name="libsubdir" value="lib"/>
<if>
<os familly="windows"/>
<then>
<var name="libsubdir" value="bin"/>
</then>
</if>
<propertyfile file="env.properties">
<entry key="qtjambi.libsubdir" value="${libsubdir}"/>
</propertyfile>
</target>
----
No <condition>, no two extra targets just for setting one property in
a file. It makes use of if/then (I don't even need the else here) and
var. And it's shorter than the corresponding Java code :p
