Here's a simple way with the condition task:
<target name="file.test">
<condition property="file.found">
<resourcecount when="ge" count="1">
<fileset dir="${dir.to.search}">
<include name="${file.name}"/>
<fileset>
</resourcecount>
</condition>
</target>
<target name="actual.target"
depends="file.test"
if="file.found">
<blah, blah, blah>
</target>
You execute target "actual.target". This runs the target "file.test". The
condition will set the property "file.found" if the file ${file.name} exists
in the directory ${dir.to.search}. If the property "file.test" is set, the
target "actual.target" will execute. Otherwise, that target will be skipped.
What's nice about this is that it doesn't require any other resources except
for the standard Ant resources. However, you must be using Ant 1.7 or
higher.
