<title>If and Unless on all tasks/nested elements</title>

<h1 id="if_and_unless">If And Unless</h1>
<p><em>Since Ant 1.9.1</em>, it is possible to add <var>if</var> and <var>unless</var> attributes on all tasks and nested elements using special namespaces.</p>
<p>In order to use this feature you need to add the following namespace declarations</p>
<pre>
xmlns:if=&quot;ant:if&quot;
xmlns:unless=&quot;ant:unless&quot;</pre>
<p>The <code>if</code> and <code>unless</code> namespaces support the following 3 conditions:</p>
<dl>
<dt><q>true</q></dt><dd>true if the value of the attribute evaluates to true</dd>
<dt><q>blank</q></dt><dd>true if the value of the attribute is null or empty</dd>
<dt><q>set</q></dt><dd>true if the specified property is set</dd>
</dl>
<pre>
&lt;project name=&quot;tryit&quot;
xmlns:if=&quot;ant:if&quot;
xmlns:unless=&quot;ant:unless&quot;&gt;
&lt;exec executable=&quot;java&quot;&gt;
&lt;arg line=&quot;-X&quot; if:true=&quot;${showextendedparams}&quot;/&gt;
&lt;arg line=&quot;-version&quot; unless:true=&quot;${showextendedparams}&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/exec&gt;
&lt;condition property=&quot;onmac&quot;&gt;
&lt;os family=&quot;mac&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/condition&gt;
&lt;echo if:set=&quot;onmac&quot;&gt;running on MacOS&lt;/echo&gt;
&lt;echo unless:set=&quot;onmac&quot;&gt;not running on MacOS&lt;/echo&gt;
&lt;/project&gt;</pre>
