You may need to specifically test against "true"
<j:if test="${junitejb.test.jar.available == 'true'}">
..... do something
</j:if>
there's some funny things that happen too, if you do something on the
command line such as:
maven somegoal -Dvar
without setting it to anything, that "var" will have a value of "true" in
it.
I always look to the source for these kinds of things. Look at the various
plugin.jelly files in your repository for hints on using this kind of stuff.
