      public class ConditionTask
      extends ConditionBase

  Task to set a property conditionally using <uptodate>, <available>, and many other supported conditions.

  This task supports boolean logic as well as pluggable conditions to decide, whether a property should be set.

  This task does not extend Task to take advantage of ConditionBase.

    Ant 1.4
