Yes, I meant from inside the buildfile. Sorry - actually I mean to say "target", not "task". I'd like to be able to do something like this:
<target name="foo"> <some-task/> <another-task/> <condition property="should.exit"> (condition check here....) </condition> <exit if="should.exit" message="some message"/> (do more-tasks...) </target> The "exit" task would simply exit the target, but would not abort the entire build (assuming "foo" is a child target).
