I created an Ant script based on the code you provided. The following
messages were returned:
exists:
Skipped because property 'present' not set.
printError:
Skipped because property 'isaFile' not set.
I did a quick rewrite of your code:
<target name="checkForCaratSharpDir">
<available property="csd.present" file="${caratsharp.dir}" type="dir"/>
</target>
<target name="exists" depends="checkForCaratSharpDir" if="csd.present">
<echo message="${caratsharp.dir} exists" />
<antcall target="clean-prepare-jar-copy_jar" />
</target>
<target name="printError" depends="checkForCaratSharpDir"
unless="csd.present">
<echo message="${caratsharp.dir} does not exist" />
</target>
<target name="all" depends="exists,printError" description="Cleans, compile
then builds the JAR file." />
<target name="clean-prepare-jar-copy_jar" >
<echo> depends="clean, prepare, jar, copy_jar" </echo>
</target>
It now returns the following:
checkForCaratSharpDir:
exists:
printError:
[echo] cs-src does not exist
all:
