Assuming no use of AntContrib, you can pass the name of a property to the Macrodef, which it would set. This property could then be used in an Ant condition. I'd give in and use AntContrib though, since it gives you an <if> task.

I want the solution to be wholly in Ant (no Java, Groovy, external file use, etc.). Is it possible? If so, can you show an example of how the mymacrodef would be coded? Thanks!
