In ANT I want to say: if username = somename, perform the task.

I started with this and can't go any further. I am new to ant, please,
advise.

<condition property="${user.name}">
<equals />
</condition>

Ant scripts is not really a sequential programming language.

You are expected to do this stuff with properties.

If you really want an if tag then look at:
