Properties in Ant are immutable, once they are set they can't be changed.
Remove the "<property name="commons.build" value="false" />" line and all should be fine (for the purpose of if and unless attributes, undefined is equivalent to false)

Hi, following the documentation for available I defined the following:
At the top of my project, different properties, like:
<!-- Contains the path to a file -->
<property name="commons.buildfile" location="../Commons/build.xml" />
<!-- Contains a value that should be only true/false --> <property name="commons.build" value="false" />
I then declared the following target:
<target name="prepare-build">
<available file="${commons.buildfile}" property="${commons.build}" /> </target>
that, if finds the build.xml file in ../Commons should set ${commons.build} to true.
I've done this for quite several properties.
However, what I obtain from the log is the following:
log: [echo] +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ [echo] + P R O P E R T Y L I S T B U I L D F I L E S : + [echo] + + [echo] + commons.buildfile? = C:\dev\projects\Commons\build.xml + [echo] +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ [echo] [echo] [echo] +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ [echo] + P R O P E R T Y L I S T B U I L D Y E S / N O : + [echo] + + [echo] + Build commons? = false + [echo] +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
obtained by the log target as follows:
<target name="log">
<echo>
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ P R O P E R T Y L I S T B U I L D F I L E S : +
+ +
+ commons.buildfile? = ${commons.buildfile} +
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ P R O P E R T Y L I S T B U I L D Y E S / N O : +
+ +
+ Build commons? = ${commons.build} +
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
</echo>
</target>
Please help me with this because i don't know what to try more!
Thanks,
Marco
