Set property with condition.

[Natalia Bello <nb...@isabel.be>]

Hi all!
I think it is not difficult, but i dont find the way to do it.
I want to set a property only if two others are not set.
That is,  i want to set the property "compile.all" if "include.module" and
"exclude.module" both, are not set.
To what I should compare the properties??


<condition property="compile.all">
          <and>      
             <equals arg1="${include.module}" arg2="??????"/>
             <equals arg1="${exclude.module}" arg2="??????"/>
          </and>  
</condition>

Thanks in advanced!
Natalia

I don't think you can use <condition> to check if a property is simply set
(regardless of what it's set to) -- but you could use the if/unless attrs
instead:

  <target name="setCompile" depends="chkInc, chkEx" unless="notAll">
    <property name="compile.all" value="true"/>
  </target>

  <target name="chkInc" if="include.module">
    <property name="notAll" value="true"/>
  </target>
  <target name="chkEx" if="exclude.module">
    <property name="notAll" value="true"/>
  </target>

To use <condition>, you'd need to compare against all the possible module
names -- eg:
    <condition property="compile.all">
      <not>
        <or>
          <equals arg1="${include.module}" arg2="foo"/>
          <equals arg1="${include.module}" arg2="bar"/>
          <equals arg1="${exclude.module}" arg2="foo"/>
          <equals arg1="${exclude.module}" arg2="bar"/>
        </or>
      </not>
    </condition>
which could get real ugly real fast.
