<body>
<h2><a name="Conditions">Conditions</a></h2>
<p>These are the nested elements that can be used as conditions in the
<a href="condition.html"><code>&lt;condition&gt;</code></a> and
<a href="waitfor.html"><code>&lt;waitfor&gt;</code></a> tasks.</p>
<h4>not</h4>
<p>The <code>&lt;not&gt;</code> element expects exactly one other
condition to be nested into this element, negating the result of the
condition. It doesn't have any attributes and accepts all nested
elements of the condition task as nested elements as well.</p>
<h4>and</h4> <p>
The <code>&lt;and&gt;</code> element doesn't have any attributes and
accepts an arbitrary number of conditions as nested elements - all
nested elements of the condition task are supported. This condition
is true if all of its contained conditions are, conditions will be
evaluated in the order they have been specified in the build file.</p>
<p>The <code>&lt;and&gt;</code> condition has the same shortcut
semantics as the Java &amp;&amp; operator, as soon as one of the
nested conditions is false, no other condition will be evaluated.</p>
<h4>or</h4> <p>
The <code>&lt;or&gt;</code> element doesn't have any attributes and
accepts an arbitrary number of conditions as nested elements - all
nested elements of the condition task are supported. This condition
is true if at least one of its contained conditions is, conditions
will be evaluated in the order they have been specified in the build
file.</p> <p>The <code>&lt;or&gt;</code> condition has the same
shortcut semantics as the Java || operator, as soon as one of the
nested conditions is true, no other condition will be evaluated.</p>
<h4>available</h4>
<p>This condition is identical to the <a
href="available.html">Available</a> task, all attributes and nested
elements of that task are supported, the property and value attributes
are redundant and will be ignored.</p>
<h4>uptodate</h4>
<p>This condition is identical to the <a
href="uptodate.html">Uptodate</a> task, all attributes and nested
elements of that task are supported, the property and value attributes
are redundant and will be ignored.</p>
<h4>os</h4>
<p>Test whether the current operating system is of a given type. Each
defined attribute is tested and the result is true only if <i>all</i>
the tests succeed.

task, all attributes and nested elements of that task are supported,
the property and overwrite attributes are redundant and will be

<h4>http</h4>
<p>The <code>http</code> condition checks for a valid response from a

</table>
<h4>filesmatch</h4>
<p>Test two files for matching. Nonexistence of either file results in "false".
This test does a byte for byte comparision, so test time scales with
byte size. NB: if the files are different sizes , one of them is missing
or the filenames match the answer is so obvious the detailed test is omitted.
