Added a precondition to skip execution by existence or absence of a file
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MEXEC-78
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEXEC-78
             Project: Maven 2.x Exec Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: exec
    Affects Versions: 1.1.1
         Environment: exec-maven-plugin version 1.1.1

            Reporter: Maik Richey

In our scenario one execution of the exec plugin can be called multiple times 
for generating a specific file. As an enhancement to our build process I added 
a precondition to skip execution by existence or absence of that file (see 
configuration below). So if the file specified is missing and should exist _or_ 
is existing and should be missing execution will be skipped. Valid 
preconditions are missing and exists (similar to activation of profiles).

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
                <execution>
                        <goals>
                                <goal>exec</goal>
                        </goals>
                </execution>
        </executions>
        <configuration>
                <executable>...</executable>
                <precondition>
                        <file>
                                <exists>file1</exists>
                AND/OR
                                <missing>file2</missing>
                        </file>
                </precondition>
                <arguments>
                        ...
                </arguments>
        </configuration>
</plugin>
{code}

Give it a try and take it into the next release version if you like.
