           Summary: Echo task doesn't emit [echo] when message is blank.
           Product: Ant
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


In the following script fragment:

<property name="empty.prop" value=""/>
<echo/> 
<echo>${empty.prop}</echo> 
<echo message="${empty.prop}"/> 

all three echo tags produce blank lines without the [echo] label.  While there
are those who feel that <echo/> is a cheap way to prettyprint blank lines into
build output, it is incorrect behavior.

See ant-dev mailing list thread here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ant-dev&m=116217612417452&w=2
and especially Dominque Devienne's reply:

"Any task output should be
prefixed with the task name in non-emacs mode. --DD"
