Don't put the ${} around the property.

Subject: Using if/unless within = a=20 target

I am trying to use "if" within a target = tag, and=20 the documentation indicates that if the property is set, the target = will be=20 executed. The small buildfile below indicates that this is not = the=20 case. When I execute this buildfile, I would expect to see: = "executing=20 test1", instead I don't see any echo messages. Likewise, if I = replace=20 the "if" with "unless", I see both echo messages.

Have I set this up incorrectly? = When I turn=20 on verbose, I see the message that "string.present" is set to = true.=20
This behavior seems buggy and contrary = to the=20 documentation.

I am using the release version 1.1, and = have also=20 tried it with last night's build (08/09) with the same result. =
