http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31513 task dependencies are being executed even if 'if' attribute do not match ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-10-02 23:07 ------- This design is not obvious and certainly not documented. I was bitten by the same problem and had to add intermediate targets to work around this "feature". The implementation is confusing because both "depends" and "if/unless" are defined using attributes which do not hint hierarchy of application. Another severe misfeature of the if/unless test is that it tests only for the existence of the property: this means that you cannot change the execution flow with a property defined on the command line since you can not ask that a property never be defined. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
