An easier solution would be to pull the for loop into its own target and then add an if="your-property" to the target.

Now i tested the worst case, when the property hasn't been set. But the for loop runs nevertheless. The property bla has not been set = <assert name="${bla}" execute="true"> <for list="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" param="copyfile"> <sequential> <echo message="Kopiere Datei -> @{copyfile}" /> ... </sequential> </for> </assert> I also put the assert into <sequential> ... </sequential> with same result. >From what i read in the antcontrib manual, assert tests for existence of the given property ?! Any hints ? OK i may use if / then ... but assert would be shorter.
