ant - maven-antrun-plugin skip target if any of two possible conditions holds -

i can pass 2 properties , b maven via

 mvn test -da=true 

or

 mvn test -db=true 

if either or b defined want target skipped. found possible when considered this:

  <plugin>     <artifactid>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactid>     <version>1.7</version>     <executions>       <execution>         <id>skiptthisconditionally</id>         <phase>test</phase>         <configuration>           <target name="anytarget" unless="${a}">              <echo message="this should skipped if or b holds" />           </target>         </configuration>         <goals>           <goal>run</goal>         </goals>       </execution>     </executions>   </plugin> 

now b has considered too. can done?

i external build.xml file allowing define multiple target combined antcall , using 1 additional dummy target, check second condition.

pom.xml

<plugin>     <artifactid>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactid>     <version>1.7</version>     <executions>         <execution>             <id>skiptthisconditionally</id>             <phase>test</phase>             <configuration>                 <target name="anytarget">                     <ant antfile="build.xml"/>                 </target>             </configuration>             <goals>                 <goal>run</goal>             </goals>         </execution>     </executions> </plugin> 

and build.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>     <project name="skipit" default="main">        <target name="main" unless="${a}">           <antcall target="secondtarget"></antcall>        </target>        <target name="secondtarget" unless="${b}">           <echo>a not true , b not true</echo>        </target>      </project>

alternative solution if have 2 conditions: using <skip> configuration attribute 1 condition (i.e. maven stuff) , unless (i.e. ant stuff) other condition:

<plugin>     <artifactid>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactid>     <version>1.7</version>     <executions>         <execution>             <id>skiptthisconditionally</id>             <phase>test</phase>             <configuration>                 <skip>${a}</skip>                 <target name="anytarget" unless="${b}">                     <echo>a not true , b not true</echo>                 </target>             </configuration>             <goals>                 <goal>run</goal>             </goals>         </execution>     </executions> </plugin>
