Ant - Class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ConditionTask doesn't support the "else" attribute.

This post is all about this error and on how to resolve this error.

Just to give some background:
Apache Ant is a Java-based build tool. For more information on Apache Ant, you can visit Apache Ant. The recent version is Apache Ant is Ant 1.71 and can be downloaded from here.
We can add a else attribute in the conditionTask for making a choice.

Coming back to the error that you have encountered:
Class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ConditionTask doesn't support the "else" attribute.

This can happen if you have Apache ant with a version less than 1.65
So, Make sure to update your ant to a version more than 1.65. Recent version, as I mentioned is, 1.71.

Does this fix the problem that you encountered with ant?
If yes, Great.

No, then continue reading. We have other fix available for Class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ConditionTask doesn't support the "else" attribute.

If you get this error even though you have the ant 1.65 or more, then the following information may be helpful.
-> Check whether the file is marked executable.
You can check the permissions of the file using "ls -l /ant"
->when you don't have execute permissions, mark the file as executable for you/your group.
->Then continue to run. It should run now.

you can mark the file as executable by executing the command,
"chmod 777 \ant" - "rwxrwxrwx" - universal writable.
or
"chmod 775 \ant" - "rwxrwxr-x" - only owner and the group can write.

What does customer experience mean?

Customer experience is the experience of the customer from the period they came to know about the existence of the product until they finish using the product. For a hotel like Saravana Bhavan, the customer experience is from the point they came to know about its existence (the day they started) until they are associated with that particular customer (probably, forever for Saravana Bhavan but it depends on each of the customer). For a typical brokerage firm, it is all about how easy it is to open the account and the experience until the customer closes the account. For BSNL or Samsung, it is from when the customer gets to know about their products (the point when they want to buy it) until the time they stopped using it. Customer service is also part of it. Its all about the customer service, once the customer has become the owner of the product. Most of the times, I have seen, the Customer Experience is great until one procure the product or service and after that, because of t...
