Forewarning, this is my first attempt at actually creating an ANT build script. I'm trying to make it so that my test target only runs if the compiled property is set to true, additionally I want my dist target to run unless the junit.failure property is set to true. But for some reason, the following code doesn't seem to be doing what I intended it to; meaning that when I try to run ant it will not execute tests as compiled is not set to true (I believe), but if I look in the bin folder I can see that the .class files were indeed generated. And consequently this means that dist will not run either as it depends on both the compile and test targets. Any thoughts or ideas on what I may be doing wrong?
