PROPOSE:optional nested filelist for available task
Hello:
A fellow ant user came to me with the following requirement:
perform packaging tasks if and only if the entire
set of some small number of known doc files was
present.
If "available" could specify a filelist, then you
could explicitly list a set of files, all of which
_must_ be present in order to set a property.
There may be other ways of fulfilling this particular
use case, but doesn't it make sense to extend
"available" in this way anyhow? BTW, this would include
the regular "available" and the "available" inside
conditions.
Thoughts?

Someone else has entered a bug report in our bugzilla issue tracking system,
asking for this same feature.
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16890
You should check whether you like the description in the bug report, create
yourself a bugzilla account (all you are asked for is to give an email
address and choose a password), and vote for the bug and yourself as CC on
the bug report to follow resolution.
