You don't need to use an <if> task in this case. It is known how many times
the loop should run.
You could use a property to store the list of DDB Suffixes
And base the <for> loop on this property using {mdb.suffix} to store the list:
<foreach list="${mdb.suffix}" target="run_xdoclet" param="suffix" delimiter="
"/>

I wouldn't suggest antcontrib. Instead I'd look at setting up the properties
specific to each generation run and then use a task like subant or something
with a fileset to execute the build against each individual property setup.
For example, using antcontrib <for/> task would implied the use of the
ant-contrib <if/> task to condition each iteration if I understand correctly.
Ant is just not meant to be coded this way. It makes much more sense to use
something like <subant/> to iterate a bunch of subbuilds which could all
inherit from the parent build and override or add the specifics for each
developer queue.
