Can't help you out with the Oracle stuff, but as to your "Also" -- I'm not against having an <if> task (or a more generalized <condition> task), but your example case doesn't really need one. A <property file=...> won't complain if the file doesn't exist, so if you want to allow for a user's properties file to set the values, or use default values if the user doesn't have a properties file, you can just specify both files -- eg: <property file="user.properties"/> <property file="default.properties"/> If user.properties exists and contains settings for properties that are also in default.properties, the values for those properties will be what they're set to in user.properties.
