Simple (?) question about " <available > "

Simple (?) question about " <available > "

In Ant 1.7 you will have other methods at your
disposal.  For now:

<pathconvert property="ZIP_FILE_EXISTS"
            setonempty="false">
 <path>
   <fileset dir="${DIR}" includes="*.zip"
            excludes="not_this_one.zip" />
 </path>
</pathconvert>

does what you want.

HTH,
Matt
