Hello, the following script sets a property depending whether a given folder is empty or not:
<project> <mkdir dir="empty"/> <fileset dir="empty" id="empty.fs"/> <pathconvert setonempty="false" property="emptyprop" refid="empty.fs" dirsep="${file.separator}" pathsep="${path.separator}"> </pathconvert> <echo>$${emptyprop} is ${emptyprop}</echo> <mkdir dir="notempty"/> <touch file="notempty/file"/> <fileset dir="notempty" id="not.empty.fs"/> <pathconvert setonempty="false" property="notemptyprop" refid="not.empty.fs" dirsep="${file.separator}" pathsep="${path.separator}"> </pathconvert> <echo>$${notemptyprop} is ${notemptyprop}</echo> </project> You might want to isolate the above code in a <macrodef> for easier reusing. Note that this is pure ant solution. You can easily do the check as well using <scriptdef> with javascript for example.
