ant task output file differs in API from command line usage

[Kelly Davis]

I have the following code which executes a build file:
Project project = new Project();   
project.init();
  
project.setUserProperty( "base.dir", new File( rootDir 
).getAbsolutePath() );
project.setUserProperty( "ant.file", new File( new File( rootDir ), 
buildFile ).getAbsolutePath() );
project.setProperty( "build.properties", propertyFile );
  
ProjectHelper helper = ProjectHelper.getProjectHelper();
helper.parse( project, new File( new File( rootDir), buildFile ));
     
project.executeTarget( "build" );

The build file uses the 'ant' task to execute a sub-project build, which 
simply compiles some code. The 'ouput' option is used to write the 
output of the sub-project build to a file. When the above code executes, 
I get the following in the output file:

prepare:
compile:
   [javac] Compiling 611 source files to 
/usr/local/builder/work/core/modules/work/core/classes

The problem with this is there is no indication of a compiler error 
which is occurring. Now, if I execute the exact same build file from the 
command line (with no api), this is what ends up in the output file:

prepare:
compile:
   [javac] Compiling 611 source files to 
/usr/local/builder/work/core/modules/work/core/classes
   [javac] 
/usr/local/builder/work/core/modules/core/src/java/com/pensare/sys/KCSystem.java:45: 
repeated modifier
   [javac]       public static final String SYSTEM_PROPERTIES = 
"system.props";
   [javac]           ^
   [javac] 1 error
   [javac] 6 warnings

Why am I not getting the compile error in the output file when I run the 
build script using the API?

Thanks, Kelly
