As well as simplifying a common operation, it is a foundation for

You better check with your contacts in the OpenVMS group for some of
your changes.

The tasks executing Java VMs (this includes tasks running rmic or
javac) explicitly checked for a 0 exit code since we've been told the
Java VM wouldn't be playing be OpenVMS rules and return 0 on success.


I havent actually done any vms-ready work, just wrapped up the process of getting the return code then checking for a failure into a method that is part of the Execute() instance.

For java checking we'd use the normal logic, and then if -and only if- you switch to a new checker would a normal exec change its result checking.

Personally, I'm not 100% sure that you can have a zero-change switch to getting something like jboss to build on OpenVMs, not if it <exec>s some things and <java>s others. Though calling their build from another build file that used <presetdef> to change exec default behaviours could maybe pull it off.
