I don't think one can set conditions in any task as the script and output
below seems to demonstrate. Even though the "setcondition" task sets the
"condition" property to false, the "doit" task still executes. That being
the case it appears that one cannot really do conditional tasks by
dynamically setting a property.
Anyone have an alternate approach?
C:\My Documents>type condtest.build
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="condtest" basedir=".">
<!-- initialize condition -->
<property name="condition" value="true"/>
<target name="setcondition">
<!-- some tasks here -->
<property name="condition" value="false"/>
</target>
<target name="onlyifcondition" if="${condition}">
<echo message="condition is true"/>
</target>
<target name="doit" depends="setcondition, onlyifcondition">
</target>
</project>
