Ignacio G. Mac Dowell updated MPJAVA-38:
----------------------------------------

    Attachment: sourceModifications.patch

I came across this same problem... 

Truly, ant:available is working as expected. Quoting 
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/available.html

"If the resource is present, the property value is set to true by default; 
otherwise, the property is <b>not set</b>"

I tried to reset the value through ant:property and it doesn't work. What does 
work is using the jelly core tag:
            <j:set var="classPresent" value=""/>
before each invocation of ant:available

Simple, but not very elegant... If someother way is proposed (via 
j:invokeStatic or something like that) I can provide patches. IMHO this issue 
is critical if you have more than one sourceModification.

Patch attached.

> The loop
>      <j:forEach var="sm" items="${pom.build.sourceModifications}">
>      <ant:available property="classPresent" classname="${sm.className}"/>
> is flawed. When the class is not present, the <available> action does NOT 
> reset $classPresent to a false value; instead, its previous value is left 
> unaltered (ie is the value from the previous time around the loop).
> So a sourceModified clause with a classname that is present will cause all 
> following sourceModified clauses to be skipped, regardless of whether their 
> test class is present or not.
> The following ant file demonstrates this nicely:
> <project name="foo" default="def" basedir=".">
> <target name="def">
>  <echo>av: ${av}</echo>
>  <available property="av" classname="dafasfas"/>
>  <echo>av: ${av}</echo>
>  <available property="av" classname="java.lang.String"/>
>  <echo>av: ${av}</echo>
>  <available property="av" classname="no.such.class"/>
>  <echo>av: ${av}</echo>
> </target>
> </project>
> perhaps simply inserting an assignment to reset the variable to false 
> immediately before the <ant:available> test will fix this?
