Opening the file with notepad is easy:
<property name="logfile" value="log.txt"/>
<macrodef name="log">
<attribute name="msg"/>
<sequential>
<echo file="${logfile}" append="true"
message="@{msg}${line.separator}"/>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<macrodef name="notepad">
<attribute name="file" default="${logfile}"/>
<sequential>
<exec executable="notepad" taskname="notepad">
<arg value="${logfile}"/>
</exec>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<log msg="one message"/>
<log msg="another message"/>
<notepad/>
But this is only possible on systems where notepad exists (means Windows).
You could also write a java application which shows the message and start that
via <java>
You could also write a BuildListener. That could scan the fireMessage() for
special words like
"alert", store these messages and open a java windows with them on
buildFinished().
Just some ideas ...
