You can attach your own logger to the project instance and do with the logging events whatever you think is best.[1] I don't know how to send anything to the Eclipse console but you seem to know. Also there likely already exists some kind of Eclipse-Logger used by the Ant integration into Eclipse (no idea where you'd find it and how it is called). > Q2) Is it better for me to write an ant script that would call the java > program and then this would call the required ant script? Why would it? Stefan [1] http://ant.apache.org/manual/listeners.html and Project#addBuildListener but you may need to do some additional steps to re-wire System.out/err. See Main#createLogger for what Ant's CLI entry point does when dealing with the -logger argument. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
