Greetings,

	Much FAQ-reading and Google searching has led me here. I'm having some =
difficulty with the "unless" attribute of the <target> task. I have a =
target, currently named init, with the sole purpose of setting a =
property to be used as a buildstamp. Presently, it looks like this:

<target name=3D"init" unless=3D"buildstamp>
	<tstamp>
		<format property=3D"buildstamp" pattern=3D"yyyyMMdd-HHmm"/>
	</tstamp>
	<property name=3D"buildstamp" value=3D"blah"/>
</target>

(the <property name...> doesn't affect the results - i put it in just to =
be sure the property was being set...). I can refer to ${buildstamp} =
later in the file, once this target has been executed, but this target =
_keeps_ getting run, and buildstamp keeps getting changed (the =
lowest-level module we have depends on init, other resources depend on =
this module..).

Thanks for any assistance, my sincerest apologies if I've asked a silly =
question (I checked the FAQs!)!
