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

I would use the ac:if inside the makro.

<macrodef name="my.rapc">
   <attribute name="entryfile" default="--not-available-file--"/>
   <attribute name="output" default="${cod.name}"/>
   <attribute name="srcdir" default="${src.dir}"/>
   <attribute name="destdir" default="${build.dir}"/>
   <attribute name="jdp" default="project.properties"/>
   <element name="inside-rapc" implicit="true"/>
   <sequential>
       <ac:if>
           <available file="@{propfile}"/>
           <then>
               <rapc output="@{output}" srcdir="@{srcdir}"
destdir="@{destdir}">
                   <jdp file="@{jdp}">
                       <entry file="@{entryfile}" />
                   </jdp>
                   <inside-rapc/>
               </rapc>
           </then>
           <then>
               <rapc output="${cod.name}" srcdir="${src.dir}"
destdir="${build.dir}">
                   <jdp file="project.properties"/>
                   <inside-rapc/>
               </rapc>
           </then>
       </ac:if>
   </sequential>
</macrodef>



<my.rapc/>
<my.rapc entryfile="entryGUI.properties"/>
<my.rapc outdir="other-outdir"/>
<my.rapc>
   <snip/>

   <snip/>
