Nope, you will have this additional target that tests for availability, then your "touch" target will have an if/unless (depending on how you configure your "availability" target) condition.
This is typical. You shouldn't be too worried about many targets springing up all over the place, as long as you don't provide a description, they won't show during "ant -projecthelp" (which should be what people are using to see what targets exist in a particular build file). -----Original Message----- From: Evgeny [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 11, 2008 9:29 AM To: Ant Users List Subject: Re: A way to create empty files So there is no way to do this other than creating an additional target with an "if" attribute?
