Option 1: Use conditional targets

<condition property="windowsos">
  <os family="windows" />
</condition>

<condition property="linuxos">
  <os family="unix" />
</condition>

<target name="go" depends="go-windows,go-linux"/>

<target name="go-windows" if="windosos">
..
..
</target>

<target name="go-linux" if="windosos">
..
..
</target>

Option 2: Use conditional exec task

<target name="go">
  <exec executable="doSomthing.exe" osfamily="windows"/>

  <exec executable="doSomthing" osfamily="unix"/>
</target>
