Hello, In general you can send emails from Ant using <mail> task. However, it is not useful for emailing the status of the build, because the build may fail and stop before reaching the target with <mail> task, i.e. in case of failure you will not receive an email.

I am aware of the following general ways: - start ant with -logfile option like ant mytarget -l mylogfile.log - use <record> task [2]. It is a flexible way to log only a portion of the build script - use pipes like ant mytarget > mylogfile.log > Is there any task that can interpret the log > file or do I have to define a custom task?

It is used like ant -logger org.apache.tools.ant.listener.MailLogger For the whole concepts of Ant loggers and listeners see [4].
