Man - o - man, I would love to see this in more ANT tasks. Simple if
support, like exists for targets, would make certain of my scripts a LOT
cleaner - vis:
<target jar-manifest if="jar.main-class">
<manifest>
(the code to insert a main class)
</manifest>
<fileset ...>
</target>
<target jar-no-manifest unless="jar.main-class">
<fileset ...>
</target>
<target jar depends="jar-manifest, jar-no-manifest"" />
could just become
<target jar >
<manifest if="jar.main-class">
(the code to insert a main class)
</manifest>
<fileset ...>
</target>
This is still declarative in the sense that ANT likes, but I would not
have to split targets into a gaziillion bits depending on what value I
want sent to a single task in a larger target.
