Best is to use ant <available ../> to fill a property and then either using ant-contrib <if> task or create separate targets that run depending on the property value.
Check this answer for details: Ant task to run an Ant target only if a file exists?

see https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/available.html and its examples - `file` can hold a path, so you could use `c:\test\abc.txt`. – MrsTang Jan 30 '13 at 16:13
