http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4399 Handling failure within the buildfile Summary: Handling failure within the buildfile Product: Ant Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] What happens if an error occurs? All BuildListeners are alerted. That's fine. But what if I want to send myself an email whenever the build fails? It's so much easier to add a target to a buildfile than writing a custom build listener... Here's my suggestion: change the project tag to include a "failure" attribute whose value would represent the target to call in case of failure. So you get: <project name="my_project" default="buildAll" failure="buildFailed" basedir="."> <target name="buildAll"> ... </target> ... <target name="buildFailed"> <echo message="My build failed!"/> </target> </project> Matt
