[Xdoclet-devel] if and unless tests on SubTask

[Richard Easterling]

In developing the JAM build framework (http://javagen.com/jam/) one of the 
primary limitations that has emerged is that one can't write configurable 
Ant scripts using XDoclet.  Typically one only wants to change the 
deployment target, but instead of just setting a property, the developer 
has to override the entire Ant target containing the XDoclet task.  Adding 
'if' and 'unless' tests to the SubTask would solve this problem, allowing 
one to write scripts like:

        <ejbdoclet destdir="${build.dir}">
                <deploymentdescriptor unless="xdoclet.ejb.dd.off"/>
                <jboss if="xdoclet.ejb.jboss.on"/>
                <weblogic if="xdoclet.ejb.weblogic.on"/>
        </ejbdoclet>
I wrote and tested a patch to do this and would like to submit it.  It will 
not effect any existing builds because when 'if' and 'unless' are absent, 
there is no change in behavior.  Nor will their be any significant 
performance hit.

Would anyone be willing to post the source for me or could I get commit 
permission?
