So work with ANT, not against it.
<target name="do-it" depends="check-available, handle-log-found,
handle-no-log" />
<target name="check-available">
<available file="..." type="file" property="error.log.exist" />
</target>
<target name="handle-log-found" if="error.log.exist">
<delete>
<fileset dir="..." />
</delete>
<fail message="ERROR: Probable errors in the mom. Check 'error.log'
in ${log.dir}" />
</target>
<target name="handle-no-log">
...
</target>
Something like that?

Ooops...it appears you might have a problem (or two)...
First off... I do not believe you can nest abritary task nodes within a <fail>
task...the only sub-element permitted is a single <condition> element...I will defer
to the ANT docs but I believe that is right
Based on what you said...you want to delete the files if a file is available.
The problem is:
Either the <available> task will find your 'log' file and the property
'error.log.exist' at which point the <fail> task will trigger which will emit your
message to the console, HOWEVER the ant script will then stop...will not delete the files
ON the other hand if <available> task is unable to find the file, the property will not be
set...the <fail> will not trigger...however the <delete> will still execute.
My $.02 cents worth,
Ninju

Subject: Delete files if error log exist
Hi,
I would like to confirm with you experts if I can write ( as below) to
delete some files if an
error log exist. Or is there a better way?
Cheers,
//mikael
<available file="${log.dir}/${log}" type="file"
property="error.log.exist"/>
<fail message="ERROR: Probable errors in the mom. Check
'error.log' in ${log.dir}" if="error.log.exist">
<!--When generation fails. Remove all files since
we don't want the wrong files to be checked in.-->
<delete>
<fileset dir="${output.dir}/${gen.pkg}" includes="**/*.java"/>
</delete>
</fail>
