In standard Ant, you use the <condition> task to set a property, then
you can use <antcall> to call a task.

<task name="if_else_task">
    <condition
         property="x.is.true">
         <istrue value="${x}"/>
    </condition>
    <antcall target="do_if_x_is_true"/>
    <antcall target="do_if_x_is_false"/>
    <echo>Yadda...</echo>
    <echo>Yadda...</echo>
    <echo>Yadda...</echo>
</target>

<target name="do_if_x_is_true"
    if="x.is.true">
    <echo>X is True!</echo>
</target>

<target name="do_if_x_is_false"
   unless="x.is.true">
   <echo>X is False!</echo>
</target>

A little complex, but that's how it's done.

AntContrib (as others have pointed out) has an <if> task:

<if>
    <istrue value="${x}"/>
    <then>
          <echo>X is True!</echo>
    </then>
    <else>
         <echo>X is False</echo>
    </else>
</if>


This is simpler, but you must include the ant-contrib-xxx.jar file in
your Ant's classpath, and include a <taskdef> task in your build.xml
file. See the AntContrib website for more information.
