Property set inside target that should be passed over

[Morgan Fletcher <mo...@provato.com>]

I've got a target that looks like this:

  <target name="prepare_compiler" if="usebcj">
  	<property name="bcj"
value="${provato.home}/../tools/jbuilder3/bin/bcj.exe"/>
  	<available property="bcj_available" file="${bcj}"/>
  </target>

If the property usebcj is not set, the properties bcj and bcj_available get
set anyway:

 +Target: prepare_compiler
   +Task: property Setting project property: bcj ->
d:\depots\eng\main\components/../tools/jbuilder3/bin/bcj.exe    
   +Task: available Setting project property: bcj_available -> true 

Shouldn't the if="usebcj" condition cause those properties to not be set? If
that's not the case, how would I conditionally set the two properties, based
on the existence of usebcj?

We're using 1.1. 

Thanks,

morgan

Property set inside target that should be passed overThis does not work in Ant 1.1 - you need to use Ant 1.2RC or wait a faw days until release. In Ant 1.1 properties will always get set and they get set while parsing the build-file.
