Clearly my snippet is wrong:
<macrodef name="default">
<attribute name="property"/>
<attribute name="default"/>
<attribute name="description" default=""/>
<sequential>
<condition property="@{property}" value="@{default}">
<not>
<isset property="@{property}"/>
</not>
</condition>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
----- Call to <isset> was using the wrong attribute

Here is something I like to use... I macrodef'd it out so I can call it for
many properties that require default values...
<macrodef name="default">
<attribute name="property"/>
<attribute name="default"/>
<attribute name="description" default=""/>
<sequential>
<condition property="@{property}" value="@{default}">
<not>
<isset property="@{name}"/>

This works with stock Ant (meaning you don't need Ant-contrib or any third
party libraries)...
To use:
<default property="SomeProperty" default="Some Default Value"/>

My ant script takes a value for a property at runtime(-Denv=xxx), if the
argument is not passed i want the value to be set as a default arbitary
value. How to accomplish this?
