ant property conditional on another property

I would like to do the following in ant

if javac.version >= 1.7
then
  <property name="myproperty" value="somevalue"/>
else
  <property name="myproperty" value="someothervalue"/>
endif

Looks simple enough but not familiar enough with ant to do this

Any assistance appreciated

You can use the condition task to check if the contents of the java version system property contains the version you need. Here is an example:

<project name="test" default="target">
    <target name="target">
        <condition property="property" value="value1" else="value2">
            <contains string="${java.version}" substring="1.7"/>
        </condition>
        <echo>Java version: ${java.version}. Result: ${property}</echo>
    </target>
</project>

Output: 

Java version: 1.7.0_60. Result: value1
