The new build system has landed on CVS.

Does overriding boolean properties work? If I set
"exclude.webapp.samples=false"
in local.build.properties a target like


<target name="prepare-webapp-samples" depends="package-samples" unless="exclude.webapp.samples">

won't be executed. "unless" does not test, if the variable has the value of "true" or "false".
It tests, if the value is defined. At least, that's what the documentation for ant 1.5 says.


The only way to execute the target is removing the definition from 
local.build.properties
and build.properties. The result will be failed build, but that's a other story.

You don't have to set things to false, you have to uncomment them!


I'll make this more explicit in some internal comments.
