it is working with the following code...
<target name="log" depends="main">
<ant antfile="build.xml" dir="." target="main" output="build.log" />
</target>
the output I got from the DOS window is like,
D:\ap2\javasrc\server>ant log
Buildfile: build.xml
init:
compile-server:

been provided.

however it is slightly different in build.log file...it is as the following
init:

so it doesn't place the last few lines of the message n build.log file. Is
