Hi, Carlton. I think that you're going to need to provide a custom
logger. I would try:
public class FalseFailureSuppressingLogger extends
org.apache.tools.ant.DefaultLogger {
public void buildFinished(BuildEvent event) {
Throwable error = event.getException();
if (error instanceof ExitStatusException &&
((ExitStatusException) error).getStatus() == 0) {
event.setException(null);
}
try {
super.buildFinished(event);
} finally {
event.setException(error);
}
}
}
Then simply use <fail message="You win!" status="0" /> in your buildfile.
HTH,
Matt
