Although I developed this on the back of ant 1.5, I used an extended BuildException, ExitStatusException, which stored an exit status. I then modified ant's Main class to catch the Exit exception if there is one and exit with the set status. I guess this should still work by modifying the new Launcher class (?).

While that's essentially a nice idea, the only thing
<fail> currently does is throw a BuildException... how
do you propose to pass this status all the way out of
the JVM, especially when you really can't be sure
whose main method is the starting point... usu.
oata.launch.Launcher--which incidentally doesn't even
call System.exit() itself... IIRC calling
System.exit() would be a de-evolution of Ant...

Hello,

I have changed the <fail/> task so as to be able to
add an optional error status int value returned by ant when and if
it exists. Basically it goes like:


<fail message="" unless="prop1" status="1"/>

this allows for easier integration with automated
shell scripts that may report various causes for errors or warnings. Would
this be a valuable addition to the main distro?
