I had a quick look at the svn sources and indeed they use the macros defined in stdlib.h. So svn should behave like a "real" OpenVMS executable. For Java applications even Ant 1.6 expects it to behave Unix-like on OpenVMS. If Ant knows it is executing Java (or a JDK executable) that is. If you use <apply> to execute java.exe it won't work. > As you can see I don't think internally Java can ever assume that it > knows whether the final exit status is a success or failure value. I don't think we can do so in any magic way, either. We can provide reasonable defaults (which Ant 1.6 does IMHO) and make it overridable on a task by task basis because only the build file author will know - has a means to check.
