It may be useful to be able to stop the build only if a property is not
set. Here is a patch for the built-in task fail. Another possibility to
do that is to have a target with the attribute "if" which will
containing the fail task:
<target name="test" if="prop.I.want">
<fail message="Set the prop.I.want !">
</target>
But it is not nice to add a target for each property you want to check.
With the patch you just add a line:
<fail message="Set the prop.I.want !" unless="prop.I.want">
Is there any other possibility to do that?
