I myself like quite a bit the <outofdate> task from Ant-Contrib by Peter Reilly... Also does away with Ant's pour if/unless conditions on targets to directly execute what needs to be done.
Peter even added the ability to have no target files, and just source files, which are thus only checked for existence. Both source and target files accept a Path, and thus FileList. --DD > -----Original Message----- > From: Craeg Strong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 4:10 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: PROPOSE:optional nested filelist for available task > > > Hello: > > A fellow ant user came to me with the following requirement: > perform packaging tasks if and only if the entire > set of some small number of known doc files was > present. > > If "available" could specify a filelist, then you > could explicitly list a set of files, all of which > _must_ be present in order to set a property. > > There may be other ways of fulfilling this particular > use case, but doesn't it make sense to extend > "available" in this way anyhow?
