Note: If either both "a" and "b" are not set, or only one of "a" and "b"
is not set (ie., any case where you'll actually end up setting "ab"), then
you need to explicitly set "ab" to "true" -- otherwise, you still end up
with "xxx" getting run:
Buildfile: test.xml
aa:
a is not set
setting property ab
bb:
b is not set
setting property ab
xxx:
a and b are both set
a is set to ${a}
b is set to ${b}
This suggests something may be out-of-whack with <property>, since it's
supposed to set the property to "true" by default.
I actually tried this same approach this morning, but didn't specify a
value="true" then, so I didn't think it worked -- then you sent this out,
so I figured there must be something to it afterall, so I kept tinkering
with it until I finally tried explicity setting ab to true, and then it
worked:
Buildfile: test.xml
aa:
a is not set
setting property ab explicitly to true
bb:
b is not set
setting property ab explicitly to true
xxx:
Buildfile: test.xml
aa:
bb:
xxx:
a and b are both set
a is set to apple
b is set to bear
