Haven't looked at the build you included later, but just in case it's a lucky guess, remember that some "conditionals" in Ant only look at whether a property is set, rather than its actual value (true or false, 0, or 1, etc...). For example <target name="..." if="foo"/>, will execute if property "foo" is *set*, to whatever. This is typically worked around by using <target name="..." depends="test-foo" if="foo-is-true?"/> with <target name="test-foo"> <condition property="foo-is-true?"><istrue property="foo"/></condition></target>. (WARNING: untested code). This works because is target's dependencies are always evaluated before itself (if these dependencies haven't been already satisfied/evaluated). Hope this helps. --DD --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
