http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43503 Summary: add the if/unless like attributes to all core tasks Product: Ant Version: 1.7.0 Platform: All OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Ants IMHO, developping a conditional build process with ant would be more straightforward if all core and optional tasks of Ant would get the same conditional execution attributes "if" and "unless" as those defined for the <target> task. So, could you consider to add those attributes as a general enhancement. As example, it is more readeable and maintanable to define <condition property="has.filename1"> <isset property="filename1"/> </condition> <condition property="has.filename2"> <isset property="filename2"/> </condition> <condition property="has.filename3"> <isset property="filename3"/> </condition> <copy file="${filename1}" todir="tmp" if="has.filename1"/> <copy file="${filename2}" todir="tmp" if="has.filename2"/> <copy file="${filename3}" todir="tmp" if="has.filename3"/> than <condition property="has.filename1"> <isset property="filename1"/> </condition> <condition property="has.filename2"> <isset property="filename2"/> </condition> <condition property="has.filename3"> <isset property="filename3"/> </condition> <target name="copy-db-jar" depends="copy-db-jar-1, copy-db-jar-2, copy- db-jar-3"> </target> <target name="copy-db-jar-1" if="has.filename1"> <copy file="${filename1}" todir="tmp"/> </target> <target name="copy-db-jar-2" if="has.filename2"> <copy file="${filename2}" todir="tmp"/> </target> <target name="copy-db-jar-3" if="has.filename3"> <copy file="${filename3}" todir="tmp"/> </target> <antcall target="copy-db-jar"/> Regards -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
