I don't think there is a way to do this strictly with Ant tasks (I would
have expected it in the concat task or the tail filter), but from the
command line of a Unix system you use:
tail -f file.log
If you wanted Ant to do that for some reason, you could stick that
command in an exec task or use a script to accomplish the same thing. It
is a bad idea, though, because it leaves Ant running forever just to
watch a log file, and the combination of Java and Ant is quite large.
You are better off running the "tail -f" command by itself, from outside
of Ant. Perhaps started in a batch file that has previously run Ant.
For Windows, you could install cygwin to get the same program. Or google
for other tail programs that have the follow feature.
