Maven - IF Tag problem

[vi...@wipro.com]

Hi All....



Problem Statement:

The condition in the IF tag does not validate correctly, when any
variable retrieved from the property file is being used in the
condition.

We tried to retrieve a variable from the property file
<<build.properties>> and assign it to another variable so that it can be
used in the IF tag for validation.

The IF tag returns 'True' in false condition and vice versa.



The maven.xml contains the following code:



<project default="a" xmlns:j="jelly:core">



            <goal name="a">                      

                        <j:set var="a" value="${c}"/>


                        <j:if test="${a == 'yes'}">


                                    <echo message="Success"/>    

                        </j:if>                           

            </goal>

</project>        



The build.properties file contains a name value pair



c=yes



Actual Output:



__  __

|  \/  |__ _Apache__ ___

| |\/| / _` \ V / -_) ' \  ~ intelligent projects ~

|_|  |_\__,_|\_/\___|_||_|  v. 1.0.2

Hi,

For me its not an issue. 
Let s try to define the variable a as a String:
<j:set var="a">${c}</j:set>

Cheers,
