One problem that I've had with Ant is that the logging facilities allow directing the output to either the console or a log file, but typically not both. This is fairly restrictive when you want to watch the progress of a build and have an log of build that is identical to what went by on the console. So in the spirit of the 'tee' command line utility I've developed a TeeLogger class that extends DefaultLogger and works a bit like MailLogger and a bit like XmlLogger. It can direct log output to two sinks simultaneously such as to the console and a file or to two files at the same time (not that this latter feature is worth much).
Here are some examples of specifying TeeLogger on the Ant command line: ant -logger com.envistatech.tools.ant.TeeLogger Directs log output to console and log.txt by default. ant -logger com.envistatech.tools.ant.TeeLogger -DTeeLogger.file=mylog.txt Directs log output to console and mylog.txt. ant -logger com.envistatech.tools.ant.TeeLogger -DTeeLogger.file=mylog.txt -logfile mylog2.txt Directs log output to mylog.txt and mylog2.txt. I think this might be useful to others and I wouldn't mind contributing it. So my questions are, is this a worthy contribution and if so what's happens next? This would be my first code contribution and I'm not at all familiar with the process of contributing code.
