Not sure whether I understand your problem. You have something like
<target name="to-run-or-not-to-run">
<create-file />
<add-file-to-jar />
</target>
If you want to do this, you can say
ant to-run-or-not-to-run my-other-targets
and if you don't want to run it:
ant my-other-targets
But maybe your situation is more complicated? You have a target named
must-run that depends on to-run-or-not-to-run if this should run - and
you want to run must-run anyway? Then you could do
<target name="to-run-or-not-to-run" if="run">
...
</target>
<target name="must-run" depends="to-run-or-not-to-run">
...
</target>
and use either "ant -Drun=1 must-run" or just "ant must-run".
Does this cover your problem?
