## Class TaskConfigurationChecker

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tools.ant.TaskConfigurationChecker

-     public class TaskConfigurationChecker
      extends java.lang.Object

  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();
               }
           }
