This Ant library also provides a couple of pre-defined assertions that are specializations of the <assertTrue> task.
Negates <assertTrue>. Supports the same attributes and nested elements as <assertTrue> but makes the build fail if the nested condition is true.
Make the build fail with the message "foo is bar" if the property foo has the value bar:
<assertFalse message="foo is bar">
<equals arg1="${foo}" arg2="bar"/>
</assertFalse message="foo is bar">
Asserts that its two arguments are equal.
