Hi I am not sure about the question , but from what I have understood is you want to run one task if the previous build fails. There are many ways to accomplish this but one of the way is to add Build Listener to your ant file which can do things based on whether you build failed or passed

The examples I've online found are good pretty basic, they show an "execute()" method that seems to be run under all circumstances. I'd like to make tasks that are only rerun if they've failed in the most recent attempt (similar to the way a compilation of a file reruns if there is no .class file found). I currently have several long running perl programs that are prone to failure and ant seems like a good way to pick up the pieces after something breaks. What is the typical route for accomplishing this with a new task class? Do we build a check into the execute() method that looks around for remnants of the previous task completing succesfully?
