Hi, beside = project.setNewProperty() for a really new property there's also = project.setProperty() - with that method you can reset/overwrite an existing property if you need to btw you can always use such methods with script task, you don't always need a new task, f.e. property name=FOO

hm, maybe you could use a multilineproperty the format has to be written like that = myasciiart=\n line0 \ \n line1 \ \n line2 \ \n line3 \ \n line4 \ \n line5 \ \n line6 \ you have to wrap every line of your ascii art between \n and \ and then echo${myasciiart}/echo Regards, Gilbert

I suppose you could do something with available and set properties, then use targets with a if attribute... That would be somewhat kludgy... Honestly, the ant-contrib solution would be cleaner... wohlgemuth wrote: is suggest you use the if/else task and check if the dir exist in the first

Since leading whitespace may be stripped from your ASCII art, simply prepend each line with a little dot '.' (possibly followed by spaces), to work around the issue. The dots shouldn't affect the visual effect. --DD On 8/9/06, Hans Schwaebli [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You mean when not using

ANT compares timestamps of class files with Java source files and passes the list to JavaC command. So, if C and D files are not specified as source files for compilation and selected by JavaC on its own, ANT would not know about them. The situation can happen, if all selected files compiled

Hello Gili, you can construct your Java task instance in two ways : a) for Ant 1.6 code Java myjava = (Java) getProject().createTask(java); or b) for Ant 1.7 code Java myjava = new Java(); myjava.bindToOwner(this); myjava.init(); in both cases you need to set afterwards all the attributes
