Here's what I do:
1) in your label task, add an attribute called 'outputproperty'.
2) in the label task's execute method, add this:
if (outputproperty != null) {
log("Setting output property to be: " +
isLabelFrozen);
this.getProject().setProperty(outputproperty,
isLabelFrozen);
}
isLabelFrozen is the result of your checking if the label is frozen.
3) you can then use the outputproperty in the "if/unless" attributes of a
target.
<target name="checkout" if="someOutputProp"/>

Subject: How to initialize the value of a boolean property based on the
output from Custom Java ANT task?
Hello All,
I have a requirement of checking out files from StarTeam only if the
Label is frozen.
StarTeam Doesn't provide a way to check the Status of a Label (Frozen or
not) using StarTeam Client. So I have written a Java class to get the
status of label with Custom ANT Task. Now I have 2 tasks, one for Java
and one for checkout.
I want to know how I can initialize one of the build property based on
the output from Custom Java (so that I can use the property value to
invoke the checkout task). Is it possible?
----
Output of the custom ANT Java task:
labelFrozen:
[labelStatus] Label Frozen: true
----
I have attached the java class and build.xml for convenience.
Thanks,
Mohan
