Maybe, at least what you see is correct - both your description and
from Ant's intentions.
It is a very common design pattern in build files to set the
properties used in if/unless in targets that the target in question
depends on, something like
<target name="bake" depends="getFlour, getMilk, getYeast etc.."
if="user.hungry">
<target name="getMilk" depends="checkUserHungry,checkMilk"
if="user.hungry" unless="have.milk"/>
Here you want the checkMilk target to get executed since it will set
have.milk (or not).
