Shawn:
Thanks a bunch...
So, I just refactored some of my targets - I have some
preprocess/process/postprocess targets and a "catch all" that depends on
the aforementioned. I was "hoping" to selectively skip the processing
assuming a property was set - oh well. Guess I'll add a depends where
appropriate - arg :(
Anyway - thanks for the prompt reply... I thought as much...but wanted to
double check ;)

The if/unless apply to the target they are specified on ONLY. They do not have
any effect on the depends targets. I don't like this either. I posted about
this very subject earlier this year. Here is a link to it:

Subject: Target unless question
All:
I was under the impression that using an unless attribute on a target will
not run the target if that property is set... However, if there are is a
depends attribute defined, the targets in the depend are run regardless?
Is this correct?
For example consider the following:
<project default="C">
<target name="A">
<echo message = "A"/>
</target>
<target name="B">
<echo message = "B"/>
</target>
<target name="C" unless = "stop" depends="A, B"/>
</project>
When I run as either:
ant -Dstop="true"
-or-
ant -Dstop=true
I get the following results:
Buildfile: build.xml
A:
[echo] A
B:
[echo] B
C:
In reading the online docs, it gave me the impression the atarget would
not run: "A target also has the ability to perform its execution if (or
unless) a property has been set."
So, the question is - is depends taking precedence over unless?
