In them I show an XHTML output that gets streamed out... not only is it

it and a system crash will leave a half complete file.

that's the bad thing about xmllogger too, we run our ant scripts similar

If a script hits the timeout nothing is written, there's no logfile. If
it would be written
as it comes we would have a half complete file, would be fine.

Will there also be a patch for xmllogger available ?
well, sounds like you have to write a new xmllogger. One problem with a
streaming/flushing logger is that if the process died, the output is
still invald XML; the XSL engine would bail out.
Better to find out why your scripts are hanging and kill that. I always
timeout my exec/java and junit runs, and dont have to kill ant itself.
Have you tried that?
The alternative is for ant to optionally register a signal handler (sun
java only; would cause trouble on IDEs) and then to shut down more
gracefully on termination. This is what smartfrog does, though since
Java6 the javac compiler goes out of its way to tell us off for doing so
("you are using sun internal apis that may go away in future").
What will be in ant1.7.1 is a 'big project logger' that provides better
log output for running a big project (with many subant/ant calls) -it
tells you when you enter and exit child projects, prefixes each target
with the name of the project, and skips targets which dont do any work
(though I may make that configurable by an ant property). There is not
yet any equivalent for the xmllogger, but it is something that could be
written if you want to help with it.
