The "ant way" is to break backwards compatibility, make build files very hard to debug, and insist that a "design" is correct even in the face of obvious flaws. I understand that the value of immutability for hierarchical systems, but you've missed a subtlety. Also..by "parser"... I meant ant's use of the "parser". It should be just 10 lines of code or so to use JDOM or some other xml parser to determine if there are conflicting condition/property tags inside a task. Really really easy. FYI... the documentation page doesn't appear to mention anything about properties being immutable, either. So at worst, this is a harmful documentation error. I've changed the summary and reopened.
