Hello,
<delete dir="..."/> and <mkdir dir="..."> tasks take
care of these details:
<project>
<delete dir="i_do_not_exist"/>
<mkdir dir="i_exist"/>
<mkdir dir="i_exist"/>
</project>
Here, we are trying to delete a non-existing
directory. Of course, <delete> deletes nothing but it
executes successfully. Next, with the second
invokation of <mkdir> we want to create a directory
that already exists and <mkdir> creates nothing but it
executes successfully.
Regarding your original question, you can use
<available> task:
<available file="i_do_not_exist" type="dir"
property="not.exists"/>
<available file="i_exist" type="dir"
property="exists"/>
<echo>$${exists} = ${exists}</echo>
<echo>$${not_exists} = ${not_exists}</echo>
Next, you can use if and unless attributes of <target>
in order to control the build flow based on the
existence of the directories.
Regards
Ivan
