Antcontrib has a Math Task to add and variables that can change their value. It also has a for task.

I should keep on checking until a desired result is given ( the file downloaded should exceed a certain limit ) In addition it should have a kind of timeout so it it will return if it has tried too many times. I I have made a ant macro which calls itself recursively since there is no <while> task I have also access to a <if> task so I manage to check if I have got the wanted result But as mentioned I would like to have a timeout, by counting up a parameter which is given to the recursive macro. Is this possible ? I have not seen any <add> or <math> task. Do some of you have better suggestions for solving this ? Note, I cannot use <waitfor> task, because I have to check not only for error code on the response, but the text itself( I manage whith checking the length of the file downloaded > To summarize my questions: - Can I add to variables/properties and but the result in a third property ? - Is there a better way than recursive macro to achieve the effect of <while> looping ?
