- public class IfTask
- extends org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.condition.ConditionBase
Perform some tasks based on whether a given condition holds true or
not.
This task is heavily based on the Condition framework that can
be found in Ant 1.4 and later, therefore it cannot be used in
conjunction with versions of Ant prior to 1.4.
This task doesn't have any attributes, the condition to test is
specified by a nested element - see the documentation of your
<condition>
task (see
the
online documentation for example) for a complete list of nested
elements.
Just like the <condition>
task, only a single
condition can be specified - you combine them using
<and>
or <or>
conditions.
In addition to the condition, you can specify three different
child elements, <elseif>
, <then>
and
<else>
. All three subelements are optional.
Both <then>
and <else>
must not be
used more than once inside the if task. Both are
containers for Ant tasks, just like Ant's
<parallel>
and <sequential>
tasks - in fact they are implemented using the same class as Ant's
<sequential>
task.
The <elseif>
behaves exactly like an <if>
except that it cannot contain the <else>
element
inside of it. You may specify as may of these as you like, and the
order they are specified is the order they are evaluated in. If the
condition on the <if>
is false, then the first
<elseif>
who's conditional evaluates to true
will be executed. The <else>
will be executed
only if the <if>
and all <elseif>
conditions are false.
Use the following task to define the <if>
task before you use it the first time:
<taskdef name="if" classname="net.sf.antcontrib.logic.IfTask" />
Crude Example
<if>
<equals arg1="${foo}" arg2="bar" />
<then>
<echo message="The value of property foo is bar" />
</then>
<else>
<echo message="The value of property foo is not bar" />
</else>
</if>
<if>
<equals arg1="${foo}" arg2="bar" />
<then>
<echo message="The value of property foo is 'bar'" />
</then>
<elseif>
<equals arg1="${foo}" arg2="foo" />
<then>
<echo message="The value of property foo is 'foo'" />
</then>
</elseif>
<else>
<echo message="The value of property foo is not 'foo' or 'bar'" />
</else>
</if>
