According to the Ant Manual, In relation to the quiet attribute of the delete task..
"If the specified file or directory does not exist, do not display a diagnostic message (unless Ant has been invoked with the -verbose or -debugswitches) or modify the exit status to reflect an error. When set to "true", if a file or directory cannot be deleted, no error is reported. This setting emulates the -f option to the Unix *rm* command. Setting this to "true" implies setting failonerror to "false". " Going by the first line of this, Ant should fail if the specified file or directory does not exist, no?
