I use a custom task, antcallAfterError, that I found in this list's archives. Here is the URL for the original post (which includes the source code): http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ant-user&m=98779742605737&w=2 Since you're new to Ant, if you're unsure how to use a custom task, take a look at the Taskdef built-in task in the Ant user manual: http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/index.html The other option (if you're feeling more ambitious) is to utilize the antBuildListener interface and write your own build listener to handle errors. More info on this can ALSO be found in the Ant user manual, under the "Developing with Ant" link.
