Dear members,I am figthing for avoiding to use <if> from ant contrib lib, but I guess for solving this problem there is no other solution. I have the following targets: <target name="target" depends="target-pre" unless ="target.skip"> ... </target> Note: From working properly this target I need to compute the property target.var.value (and this property could be assigned previoulsy if some target needed such property before) Now <target name="target-pre" unless ="target.var.value"> <antcall target="compute-target1.var1"/> <property name="target.var1.value" value="the value is: ${target.var}"/> </target> This is the best solution, but the problem comes from the fact that the property computed on target compute-target1.var (property target.var) is not assigned after antcall invokation, so it doesn't work. but If I use instead of antcall, just dependences I get the value of target.var properly <target name="target-pre" unless ="target.var" depends="compute-target.var"> <property name="target.var.value" value="the value is: ${target.var}"/> </target> what I don't like about this solution is that the dependences targets are ALWAYS execute even if the property target.var was defined or not. This is a simple case, but on my case the computation of target.var is a complex task, so I have to run it always. Using ant contrib it is inmidiatly using <if> task, but I don't want to add more library dependence to my project. Do you have any idea about how to solve this problem?
