No, it's not possible. You need a specific file to look for.
Although I'm not sure I understand your use-case, it seems like you can
define a fileset of the files you're after, then <pathconvert
property="filelist"/> it to a string, then <condition
property="compile.not.required"><equals arg1="${filelist}" arg2=""
/></condition> to check if the string is empty.
But then, usually one checks whether to recompile using <uptodate>, or let
<javac> do it automatically... --DD

Subject: available task, setting property on existence *.java
I would like to set a property on the existence of a particular type of
file.
e.g.
<condition property="compile.required">
<or>
<available file="${src.root}/${site.name}/${patch.name}**/*.java"
property="compile.required" />
</or>
</condition>
But I understand this is not possible with the "available" task.
Am I missing something ?
cheers
dan
