Another solution is try to save properties into *.properties or *.xml file(s) -
and load that file(s) with <property
file="..."/> or <xmlproperty file="somefile.xml"/> tasks (this is ant core
tasks).
Main problem is to load right file(s).
That can be do in two ways :
0. the simplest solution is use <if/> task from ant-contrib package, like this :
<if>
<available file="${gen.dir}"/>
<then>
<xmlproperty file="somefile.present.xml"/>
</then>
<else>
<xmlproperty file="somefile.absent.xml"/>
</else>
</if>
1. second way (if you don’t like external stuff) may be look like this :
<target name="xxxx">
....
<available file="${gen.dir}" property="is.present.flag" value="true"/>
....
</target>
<target name="load.if.present" if="is.present.flag" depends="xxxx">
<xmlproperty file="somefile.present.xml"/>
</target>
<target name="load.if.absent" unless="is.present.flag" depends="xxxx">
<xmlproperty file="somefile.absent.xml"/>
</target>
<target name="next.step" depends="load.if.present,load.if.absent">
....
</target>
P.S. sorry for my poor english :)

The only problem is he stated setting multiple properties...not a single
one....
Of course, I just chuckled to myself as I had forgotten the else
attribute on condition...
