Class AssertTask

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectComponent
      org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.condition.ConditionBase
          org.apache.ant.antunit.AssertTask

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable

public class AssertTask
extends org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.condition.ConditionBase

Exits the active build, giving an additional message if the single nested condition fails.

This one could as well be implemented as

 <macrodef name="assertTrue">
   <attribute name="message" default="Assertion failed"/>
   <element name="assertion" implicit="true"/>
   <sequential>
     <fail message="@{message}">
       <condition>
         <assertion/>
       </condition>
     </fail>
   </sequential>
 </macrodef>
 

but wouldn't be able to throw a specialized exception that way - and the macrodef would nest the exception in yet another BuildException.
