Available Task tests if a resource/file is set and sets a certain property to a certain value if it exists.
Here, AvailableTask
first checks for the existance of either file
or directory named test.txt
in /tmp
. Then, it
checks for the directory foo
in /home
and then for
the file or directory bar
in /home/foo
. If
/tmp/test.txt
is found, the property
test_txt_exists
is set to "Yes"
, if
/home/foo
is found and a directory,
properties.yetanother
is set to "true"
(default). If /home/foo/bar
exists, AvailableTask
will set foo.bar
to "Well, yes"
.
And last it checks if extension foo
is loaded,
so the property foo.ext.loaded
is set to "true"
(default).

NB: the Available task can also be used as a condition, see Appendix H, Project Components.
