LOL. You are not trying to insult me, are you? Sorry if I provoked this in some way, it was not intended, I was and am really curious. We obviously take different approaches. If I had to use the same command with differing command line switches many times I'd write a task to wrap it - I did so for quite a few of them, I think the first one was <patch> which ended up in Ant's CVS repository. You sounded as if you had to do it for many different commands which doesn't match my experience and I wanted to understand yours. The question may have better been "why does adding conditional attributes to arg make your live that much easier as opposed to - for example - adding it to Task itself". I am in no way opposed to adding if/unless to arg, but need to be convinced it would really help much. > Only answering here to satisfy your curiosity.
