Okay, try again.

Need to create a file (actually a symlink) if none exists.

Is there a way to set a property true if a resource does *not* exist?


DETAIL --------------------------------------------

The dosomething task will do something only if the file
exists.

  <target name="test">
      <available file="${MYFILE}" property="file.exists" value="true" />
  </target>


<target name="dosomething" depends="test" if="file.exists"> <echo message="Do something here"> </target>

I tried using <not>, but it won't work, because the "not"
operation of "is not set" is not true.

  <target name="test">
      <condition property="file.notexists">
         <not>
             <available file="${MYFILE}" property="file.exists" value="true" />
         </not>
      </condition>
  </target>

Ideas?  I don't see a NotAvailable task.
