In reality, the booleans are being seen by the program that generates the
document as true regardless of what has been done with the AntForm.
Therefore, all three special paragraphs always appear in the document even
when I've asked for some or all of them to be omitted.
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...).
Right, I seem to remember that....
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
Sorry, I'm not following your example. Which of those things are you
putting on which tasks?
Also, please see my reply to Patrick's suggestion. Perhaps you can shed
some light on the underlying problem of why my edited source file is not
being seen by the main program that uses it.
