Not sure what you're answering here Robert. Are you saying inside the exists
target, call the other build file with subant and if it succeeds it will go to
do.true or do.false?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
(code below)
Try the "depends with if/unless" pattern.
Note the "if" and "unless" parameters on the do.true and do.false targets.
"condition" sets a variable depending on something - in this case where a file
exists or not.
The "top" level target does nothing except make sure other things happen in
order.
You might call that pattern "empty target orders actions".
