This would also enable the "build system settings" if environment
variable BUILD_BOX is set to "false". Would be better to check
existence and then variable's content as well - just to avoid any
confusion.
A second thought on maintaining such a script later on - you would
move "F:/Inetpub/wwwroot/wo30" into a property cause you don't want to
have such hard-wired paths in your build scripts, do you?
Perhaps you should drop the idear of depending on environment
variables and depend on (property) files instead, for example:
<project>
<property file="buildsystem.properties" />
<property file="common.properties" />
<echo>JOF=${JOF}</echo>
</project>
Property file "buildsystem.properties" would only exist on
build-servers while "common.properties" is assumed to exist on
developer and build-server hosts. Then
== buildserver.properties ==
JOF = F:/Inetpub/wwwroot/wo30
== common.properties ==
JOF=C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/wo30
Notice that <property /> graciously ignores non-existent files. You
may also want to put those <property /> tasks directly below <project
/> to ensure that your properties are set before *any* target is
executed. Btw, you should also assert that property JOF is set to
avoid unexpected script behavior.
