Justin, Timothy:
A couple of possibilities:
1) Detect the file with the 'org.eclipse.jet.resource' loader
<%-- this 'loads' the parent. Here $parent is an IResource --%>
<c:load var="parent" url="workspace relative path to parent"
urlContext="worksapce" loader="org.eclipse.jet.resource" />
<c:if test=" $parent/file[@name = ' the file name']" >
<%-- file exists --%>
</c:if>
The more obvious approach of using the actual file as an URL doesn't work,
as the loader will through an exception. You could still use the approach,
and then check for the non-existence of the variable, but then this isn't
much different than the above in temps of amount of code.
2) Use the replace='false' attribute to avoid overwritting some existing
files. The 'replace' attribute on ws:file and java:class checks for file
existance. If set to 'false', then if the file already exists, the template
is not run, and the results are not written. I'm not sure that it will help
in your situation, though.
3) Creating a conditional tag (e.g. <mylib:fileExists path="..."> ... handle
exists ...</mylib:fileExists> would be fairly easy. An XPath funciton might
be a bit more code (because you need to fiddle a bit to get the function
arguments, but is also pretty easy). If you feel that such a function would
be generally useful, feel free to submit a bugzilla. And, even better than a
bugzilla is attaching an implementation - provided your employer approves,
of course.
