hey! that's a maven question. You are setting a variable to flag whether
or not that jar is in the dependencies ...?
you may have to add the type="file" ...
sometimes you have to use your reverse boolean logic to get the !ORS to work
as !(this AND that)
I found sometimes for those available tests that you have to test against
"true" as well as test for empty()
<ant:available property="testJarPresent" type="file"
file="${junitejb.test.jar"/>
<j:if test="${empty(testJarPresent) or
testJarPresent.trim().equals('true')}" >
... do stuff it if isn't there
</j:if>
