i don't believe the file attribute of <available> supports wildcards, as it's
designed to look for ONE file. You could probably use a combination of the
tips Dominique and Diane just showed us. Something like:
� <target name="doit" depends="check_for_testcases"
if="tast_cases.exist">
� � <echo message="files = ${files}"/>
� </target>
<fileset dir="${src.test}" id="fs"/>
<!-- i don't know the syntax for fileset, but there must be something which
lets you add file wildcards to it -->
� <target name="check_for_testcases">
� � <pathconvert pathsep="," property="files" refid="fs"/>
� � <condition property="tast_cases.exist">
� � � <not><equals arg1="${files}" arg2=""/></not>
� � </condition>
� </target>
