Hello Thanks for responding.
Since I have i,j variable is defined outside of all methods in my method, their values are available anywhere in any method. Can you provide pseudo code or any example snippet for 2 and 3 ? I am new to ant world ? Eagerly awaiting your response to implement your suggestions.

What do you mean with a "global variable" in Java? 2. You can use Project.createTask("mail") to create a mailtask. 3. Another way (easier): set a ant-property with the value of j from inside your javacode and call the mailtask from your build script depending on the existence or value of this property.
