- The Ant <exec> task throws a BuildException if the exit code is unequal zero.
Do you know how to get around that? Should the Execute class, in the case of VMS, map the exit status to what's common on Unix systems?
Maybe we should provide a Execute.isFailure(int result) method that returns result != 0 on all platforms except OpenVMS (and result % 2 != 0 on OpenVMS).
So I read this and looked to my left at the Design Patterns book that was already open to the Adapter Pattern for other reasons...
Fate? It does seem that an adapter to the java.Runtime() class that was OS sensitive could be an option. One might even have different adapter implementations for each OS, and instantiate different implementations based on which OS ant is being run under so you didn't have to process a bunch of if(Os.isName("foo")) to execute anything.
Just a thought, perhaps not even a good one. You tell me :)
