          net.sf.antcontrib.logic.Switch

public class Switch
extends org.apache.tools.ant.Task

Task definition for the ANT task to switch on a particular value.

 Usage:

   Task declaration in the project:
   
     <taskdef name="switch" classname="net.sf.antcontrib.logic.Switch" />
   

   Task calling syntax:
    
     <switch value="value" [caseinsensitive="true|false"] >
       <case value="val">
         <property name="propname" value="propvalue" /> |
         <antcall target="targetname" /> |
         any other tasks
       </case>
      [
       <default>
         <property name="propname" value="propvalue" /> |
         <antcall target="targetname" /> |
         any other tasks
       </default> 
      ]
     </switch>
    


   Attributes:
       value           -> The value to switch on
       caseinsensitive -> Should we do case insensitive comparisons?
                          (default is false)

   Subitems:
       case     --> An individual case to consider, if the value that
                    is being switched on matches to value attribute of
                    the case, then the nested tasks will be executed.
       default  --> The default case for when no match is found.

 
 Crude Example:

     
     <switch value="${foo}">
       <case value="bar">
         <echo message="The value of property foo is bar" />
       </case>
       <case value="baz">
         <echo message="The value of property foo is baz" />
       </case>
       <default>
         <echo message="The value of property foo is not sensible" />
       </default>
     </switch>
