Class TaskConfigurationChecker

Helper class for the check of the configuration of a given task. This class provides methods for making assumptions about the task configuration. After collecting all violations with assert* and fail methods the checkErrors will throw a BuildException with all collected messages or does nothing if there wasn't any error.

Example:

     public class MyTask extends Task {
         ...
         public void execute() {
             TaskConfigurationChecker checker = TaskConfigurationChecker(this);
             checker.assertConfig(
                 srcdir != null,
                 "Attribute 'srcdir' must be set.
             );
             checker.assertConfig(
                 srcdir.exists(),
                 "Srcdir (" + srcdir + ") must exist."
             );
             if (someComplexCondition()) {
                 fail("Complex condition failed.");
             }
             checker.checkErrors();
         }
     }
