Whoops. The last mail was empty. Sorry about that.
As for composing the HTML inside Ant, I've done that too, but be warned
it ain't pretty!
What I did was have a standard html file that I used as a mail
template. Within that html file, I had several filter keys (such as @date@,
@username@, etc).
So before I sent the build mail, I copied the html file from the
template to some temp directory, running a filterset on it as the copy took
place, thereby replacing the filter keys with html code (that I had defined in
build.xml).
The real pain in the ass is having to use a lot of escape characters so
that Ant doesn't think your markup is part of the build script.
For instance the code below replaces filter keys in my template html
code with links to documents created as part of the build process.
<copy todir="${output.dir}/OverallPMD">
<fileset dir="${nav.dir}/PMD"/>
<filterset>
<filter token="OVERQR3" value="<a
href="../OverallPMD/QR3ONLY-PMD-OVERALL.html"
target="bottomFrame">QRANK3"/>
<filter token="OVERQR4" value="<a
href="../OverallPMD/QR4ONLY-PMD-OVERALL.html"
target="bottomFrame">QRANK4"/>
<filter token="OVERQR5" value="<a
href="../OverallPMD/QR5ONLY-PMD-OVERALL.html"
target="bottomFrame">QRANK5"/>
<filter token="OVERQR6" value="<a
href="../OverallPMD/QR6ONLY-PMD-OVERALL.html"
target="bottomFrame">QRANK6"/>
<filter token="OVERQR7" value="<a
href="../OverallPMD/QR7ONLY-PMD-OVERALL.html"
target="bottomFrame">QRANK7"/>
<filter token="OVERQR8" value="<a
href="../OverallPMD/QR8ONLY-PMD-OVERALL.html"
target="bottomFrame">QRANK8"/>
</filterset>
</copy>
The corresponding html template is:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">

margin-left: 0px;

margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
.style1 {

font-weight: bold;

</style></head>
<body>
<table width="100%" border="0">

</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Now there
See how messy that can get? Now it works well, but you have to have the
patience of a saint to work through it all.
Maybe I still don't understand what you want to do, but I think you're at least
getting a better picture of what CAN be done.

Jan/David,
Thanx for ur supportive suggestions.
Real scenario here is ....
Once the build is thru' am checking for Build Success/Failure in a shell script
. Depending on tht the shell script call seperate mail tasks inside same
build.xml
for Success/Failure.Presently I want to include some HTML tags inside those
mail tasks to get reflected in the mail. ( Now mail generation is done
successfully)
I want to happen everything in runtime.
Jan, i will try the way u suggest. But I prefer tht to be inside by build
file....

I agree with Jan,
I've a setup pretty close to what you're looking for in use at
work.
But to do this you'll need to add the javamail and jaf jars to the
ant bootloader classpath...
Which you can do more or less as follows:
ant -f build.xml -lib /directory/containing/javamail.jar/ -lib
/directory/containing/jaf.jar/
If you don't add the directories containing those two jars, Ant
won't be able to process MIME mail, and will send a UUE encoded message
instead, which will result in your mail showing the HTML source code instead of
the properly formatted content.
You can grab javamail here:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/downloads/index.html
And you can grab JAF (JavaBeans Activation Framework) here:
http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/jaf/downloads/index.html
Hope this helps,
/Dave

I would use an external message-file, because html (message) inside xml
(buildfile) is very hard to maintain ...
