Subject: Re: Optional <entry/> if and only if properties file exists?
/*
In other words, I need to test if the property file exists... and then
include that "code" only in this case.
*/
with Jan's macro =
<target name="checkprops">
<condition property="propfileexists">
<available file="path/to/your/propsfile"/>
</condition>
...
</target>
<target name="foobar" depends="checkprops" unless="propfileexists">
<my.rapc/>
<target>
<target name="foobaz" depends="checkprops" if="propfileexists">
<my.rapc>
<entry file="entryGUI.properties" />
</my.rapc>
<target>
or check the condition with antcontrib if/else in one target
<target ....
<if>
<available file="path/to/your/propsfile"/>
<then>
<my.rapc>
<entry file="entryGUI.properties" />
</my.rapc>
</then>
<else>
<my.rapc/>
</else>
</if>
</target
