You can look into ant's script task to facilitate this type of "complicated" logic. In the javascript (if you choose) you can check values of properties and then choose the route of execution. There's probably ant contrib tasks also for handling if conditions based on the value of a property.
-----Original Message----- From: Rhino [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 15, 2004 9:09 AM To: ant-user Subject: Perform different target depending on *value* of property I want to revise an existing script so that it does a different target for each of several different *values* of a property. For example, if the property, which is named 'server' has a value of "foo", I want the script to execute a target called "foo-upload". If the value of 'server' is "bar", I want the script to execute a target called "bar-upload". If the value of 'server' is "test", I want the script to execute a target called "test-upload". Actually, although the target names begin with the server name, that is more convenience than necessity; it isn't critical that the target names start with the server name so I don't insist on that. I am running Ant 1.6.1 but would be willing to upgrade to a newer version to accomplish this. I would also like to stay "pure Ant" if possible but would still be interested in seeing solutions using optional tasks or ant-contrib. I know that 'if' and 'unless' are the normal mechanisms for enabling conditional execution of tasks but they only seem to work on the basis of if a property is enabled or not, rather than on the VALUE of the property.
