Hi,

I am trying to build ant script that will fail in the case where a
particular properties file is not loaded, where the name of the properties
file is specified as a property on the command line.  I have tried the
following, which works fine if the file is not loaded, however it also fail
if I have a correct file specified.

Commands to run:

> ant (Fails as it should)
> ant -DEden.envfile=some_existing_file.props (Fails even though the file is
loaded, checked this through the verbose output).

	<property name="CONFIGDIR" value="${basedir}/Config"/>
  	<property name="Eden.envfile" value="[unspecified]"/>
   	<property file="${CONFIGDIR}/${Eden.envfile}"/>

   	
 	<target name="check_envfile" unless="${Eden.envfile.set}">
 		<echo message="${Eden.envfile}"/>
 		<fail message="Enviroment file not specified, please specify
-DEden.evnfile=[filename] on the command line"/>
 	</target>
 
	<target name="build">
		<available file="${CONFIGDIR}/${Eden.envfile}"
property="Eden.envfile.set"/>
		<antcall target="check_envfile"/>
	</target>


I am probably missing something obvious, as I am a bit of a newbie.

Thanks in advance,

Michael Barker
