Using properties in depends list for a target

["Ridley, Aidan" <ai...@twcable.com>]

I would like to use properties in the "depends" list for a target, but
that does not seem to work.

 

I would also like to use a filter chain to replace tokens in a property
instead of a file.

 

Are these things possible? Am I missing something?

 

I have worked around these apparent limitations by writing things out to
temporary files, but it's messy.

This is not possible because the if/unless attribute takes the _name_ of
a property 
and checks its existence.

So you want to define a new property based on another one and change its
value.
You can do this with a combination of <loadresource>, String-Resource
and the filterchain.
