Ant Developers,
I've come across (ok stumbled across) an implementation detail of the new Ant 1.6.1 "keepGoing" mode. The way the code is currently written Ant keeps going even if an Error (not an Exception) occurs. This strikes me as very risky as it violates the expected response of the runtime to an Error. The code could be easily switched to capture all Exceptions instead of Throwables. Moreover, when it does capture an error, Ant effectively masks the serious Error with a generic BuildException (which it really isn't). Unless you run Ant in debug mode you'd never actually see the root cause (in the BuildException's stack dump).
Is this a bug or a "working as designed" feature of Ant?
Thanks,
The Wabbit
