That should be "no source files" :-).
I should document this....
An example usage:
<target name="t">
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties"/>
<delete file="test.txt"/>
<outofdate property="need.to.create">
<sourcefiles/>
<targetfiles>
<filelist dir="${basedir}"
files="build.xml,test.txt"/>
</targetfiles>
</outofdate>
<echo message="${need.to.create}"/>
<touch file="test.txt"/>
<outofdate property="no.need.to.create">
<sourcefiles/>
<targetfiles>
<filelist dir="${basedir}"
files="build.xml,test.txt"/>
</targetfiles>
</outofdate>
<echo message="${no.need.to.create}"/>
</target>
