## org.apache.tools.ant
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();
             }
         }
