How to put condition in exec in a build.xml file?

How to put a condition in exec in a build.xml file invoked from Hudson?

I need to use arg only if something happened (I send some parameters) and I need an if task or a condition for can solve the problem.

Solution

  • The Ant Contrib library has an if task which looks like:

    <if>
<my condition goes here>
<then>
</then>
</if>

    In raw Ant, you use the condition task which looks like:

    <condition property="condition.to.set">
   <my condition goes here>  
</condition>

    and then a conditional target:

    <target name="mine" if="condition.to.set">

    I prefer Ant Contrib as it is easier to read.
