I have a boolean variable that the user can set via a checkbox during the setup.

For using its value later on, i would like to negate that value.
So, if the value is true, i want to write "false" in an Eclipse Ini task.

Is this possible somehow?

Alternatively, i could execute two different tasks with conditional logic evaluating the variable, but i am pretty sure this is not supported.

The third option would of course be to rephrase the label of the variable so that the meaning is negated already, but i would prefer one of the other options.

Not yet, but I suppose we could define/implement a "not" filter that
would do this.

No conditionality is supported at this time.

Yes, that could be awkward. A new filter should be trivial to support...
