Add if and unless attributes to the echo task
Summary: Add if and unless attributes to the echo task
Product: Ant
Version: 1.5.1
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: Enhancement
Priority: Other
Component: Core tasks
AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
ReportedBy: jsalvata@atg.com
echo is often used to inform the user about presence/absence of optional
libraries and similar conditions in the build process. This is currently done by
using one target, conditioned to the appropriate property, for each message, as
in this example:
<!--
- Check for optional libraries.
-->
<target name="check-libs" description="Check availability of optional
libraries." unless="assuming.libs.present">
<available classname="com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider"
property="jsse.present">
<classpath refid="classpath"/>
</available>
<available classname="javax.mail.Transport" property="javamail.present">
<classpath refid="classpath"/>
</available>
<available classname="javax.activation.DataHandler"
property="javamail.complete">
<classpath refid="classpath"/>
</available>
<available classname="iaik.protocol.https.Handler" property="isasilk.present">
<classpath refid="classpath"/>
</available>
</target>
<!--
- Messages for missing libraries
-->
<target name="ssl-message" depends="check-libs" unless="jsse.present">
<echo message="Classes for SSL not found in classpath"/>
</target>
<target name="iaik-message" depends="check-libs" unless="isasilk.present">
<echo message="Classes for IAIK iSaSiLk not found in classpath"/>
</target>
<target name="mail-message" depends="check-libs" unless="javamail.complete">
<echo message="Classes for Mail support not found in classpath"/>
</target>
<target name="report-missing-libs"
depends="ssl-message,iaik-message,mail-message"/>
Having if & unless attributes on the echo target (with the obvious semantics)
would greatly simplify this.
