Re: unable to use user properties inside the Javascript task.

I didn't get into tracking down whether doodle.poodle should actually be
getting set -- instead, I just got the gist of what you were looking to
do, and I'd shrink it all down (the checking for the file part) to:

  <target name="checkForChanges" depends="script">
    <echo>changes = ${changes}</echo>
    <!-- do whatever you do when a changes.txt file exists -->
  </target>

  <target name="script">
    <script language="javascript"> <![CDATA[
      importClass(java.io.File);
      file = new File("changes.txt");
      for( ;; ) {
        if( file.exists() ) {
          project.setNewProperty("changes", "true");
          break;
        } else { java.lang.Thread.sleep(5000); } // give it a rest :)
      }
      ]]>
    </script>
  </target>
