This is the weekly build I'm referring to rather than the CC builds.  I really need to be sure it's clean.  If one file gets removed from the code repository (StarTeam for us), but it doesn't get cleaned out of the build directory, the repercussions could be humongous.  Maybe the file got delete

Ant exit code is zero when an exception is thrown

We have a task which extends org.apache.tools.ant.Task . It is capable of throwing runtime exceptions, so execute() has a try clause with a catch that looks like this: catch (Exception e) { BuildException be = new BuildException(e); //these first three are for debugging only
