Newbie question

[Barry Nauta <ba...@switch.be>]

Hello,

probably a simple question.

<target name="build-module-a" if="module-A-present">

This would execute only if the property is set. Is there a way to check if a
value not is set? (This will be practical if certain libraries are not
present, recompile them and put the jar's in the right location so they can
be used by the project)

Thanks,
Barry

Speaking of Ant 1.1, there is:

<target name="build-module-a" unless="module-A-present">

yup - use "unless" instead of "if" :P
