[Anthill-pro] Using properties as a condition to bypass a step

[emerson cargnin]

BTW, I'm trying to stop a job to run if a property in the project
called  "hasNoResources" is defined as true. If it's not defined or
defined as false the job should be allowed to run.

I know I can get the property with the following :
PropertyLookup.getValue("hasNoResources")
But I have no clue how to, based on this value, to allow or not. Also
the "Job Pre-Condition Scripts" don't have much documentation. It
seems, for what i saw (the example below) that they return
"JobStatusEnum.SUCCESS" to allow the job to continue. But not really
sure how to put this into a beanshell script.

return JobStatus.parentsAre(JobStatusEnum.SUCCESS)

Could anyone give me an exaple or a hand on this?

thanks
emerson
