It strikes me that we don't have a utility to
declaratively build custom conditions from others;
macrodef would seem the obvious choice for, e.g.:
<macrodef name="isEmptyFile">
<attribute name="file" />
<sequential>
<and>
<available file="@{file}" type="file" />
<length file="@{file}" length="0" />
</and>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
But the result amounts to a Task: executable, but
unavailable for use where conditions would be
available.
Would it make sense to allow this by allowing a nested
<condition> as an alternative to <sequential>? Then
cloning the MacroInstance class to MacroCondition
implements Condition, for use when <condition> is
specified? Cloning the entire MacroDef/MacroInstance
family to have an entirely new task feels a little
extreme to me here...
Alternative suggestions?
TIA,
Matt
