As per Dominiques's suggestion, I have used
setNewProperty("isLabelFrozen", String.valueOf(isLabelFrozen)) and I got
the correct value of the property inside the checkout task, but having
issues with if/unless attributes.
I have tried if/unless in <target> or in <fail> task (which is inside
checkout) and got the following results:
1) With "unless" attributes in checkout target, the checkout is always
successful (no matter what ever the value of property "isLabelFrozen"
[true or false]).
2) With "if" attribute in checkout target, the checkout target never ran
(no matter what ever the value of property "isLabelFrozen" [true or
false]).
3) With "if" attribute in <fail> task which is inside checkout target
and no "if" or "unless" in the target, the checkout is always successful
(no matter what ever the value of property "isLabelFrozen" [true or
false]).
4) With "unless" attribute in <fail> task which is inside checkout
target and no "if" or "unless" in the target, the checkout target always
failed (no matter what ever the value of property "isLabelFrozen" [true
or false]).
Is there an issue with "if" and "unless" when creating new property with
"setNewProperty" method inside the java code?
Note: checkout target depends on the labelFrozen target.
I'm using ANT 1.6.5. I have attached java class and the build file.
Thanks,
Mohan

the output from Custom Java ANT task?
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"/>
