Hi there.
I have written a build.xml which copies itself into other dirs and executes
itself, and sometimes does this ongoing.
Each dir has a property file with specific information.
How if a property is once set, I want to unset it, because I use this
property in the target with 'if' and 'unless'.
I understood, that a property is there if it is once used, even if the value
is "".
To avoid entering allways the if-target (so to say), I must be able to unset
a property or find another workaround.
Any idea?
In the posted example the following targets are in my focus:
<target name="module.dist2base" if="app.isbasemod" >
<target name="module.dist2lib" unless="app.isbasemod" >
The property "app.isbasemod" must be unset anywhere, I think.
Unsetting the property must occur somewhere near the different, I think.
<ant antfile= .... >
<property file="../${module.name}/etc/app-config.properties" />
</ant>
