Folks i have two questions
1. I want to check whether an environment variable is defined or not. e-g i
want to check whether the variable JAVA_HOME is set or not. How can i do
that. Currently the way i am doing that is :
<property environment="env"/>
<property name="java_home" value="${env.JAVA_HOME}"/>
<target name="all">
<condition
property="*java.is.not.set*">
* <contains string="${java_home}" substring="JAVA_HOME"/> // the line
doing it*
</condition>
<antcall target="do_if_java_is_true"/>
<antcall target="do_if_java_is_false"/>
</target>
so in the highlighted line, i am checking the whether the variable
$java_home contains JAVA_HOME or not. If it does, then it means that
JAVA_HOME is not set else it is set.
Now i want to ask that is it the right way to check or is there any better
way?
2. The second question is that based on the above condition, i want to
execute separate targets. i-e if JAVA_HOME is set, then execute a different
target, else execute a different task. The way i am doing it is i am calling
i am calling two antcall as
* <antcall target="do_if_java_is_true"/>*
* <antcall target="do_if_java_is_false"/>*
<target name="do_if_java_is_false"
if="java.is.not.set" depends="compile,jars,clean>
</target>
<target name="do_if_java_is_true"
unless="java.is.not.set" depends="javaspecific,compile,jars,clean>
</target>
Now, the problem is that though i am able to detect somehow that whether
java is defined or not. But it executes both the targets i-e the "depends"
attribute of both the targets gets executed whereas i dont want the depends
attribute of both the target to be executed....
Can any help how can i correct Or do it more elegantly??
