Thanks, this is exactly what I'm looking for!
Although, I'm not able to pass a property from the parent ant script to the
cleanup ant script I call in the catch block...how would I do this using the
Antelope 'Try' task?
<project name="Parent Ant Script" default="test" basedir=".">
.
<property name="dir.reports.root" value="reports_dir_name" />
.
<!-- Run these Canoo tests -->
<target name="test">
<try break="no">
<ant antfile="test1.xml"/>
<ant antfile="test2.xml"/>
<catch>
<ant antfile="exception-cleanup.xml" inheritall="true">
<property name="property.used.in.exception-cleanup"
value="{dir.reports.root}"/>
</ant>
</catch>
</try>
.
.
.
</target>
.
.
.
</project>

See the try/catch/finally task packaged with Antelope
(http://antelope.sourceforge.net). Then you can do:
<project name="Parent Ant Script" default="usage" basedir=".">
.
.
.
<!-- Run these Canoo tests -->
<target name="test">
<try break="no">
<ant antfile="test1.xml"/>
<ant antfile="test2.xml"/>
<catch>
<!-- do other processing here -->
</catch>
</try>
.
.
.
</target>
.
.
.
</project>
The break="no" means to continue with test2 even if test1 fails, which
is handy for what you are doing. The catch block will execute for each
failed task.
Documentation for the "try" task is at:
http://antelope.sourceforge.net/manual/bk03ch07.html
