http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18391 RFE: ignoreMissingBuildFiles option for subant Summary: RFE: ignoreMissingBuildFiles option for subant Product: Ant Version: 1.6Alpha (nightly) Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was just fooling around with subant, and became really annoyed that it failed every time it couldn't find a build file, but I definately wanted it to fail if any of the subbuilds failed. I decided it was faster and prevented future maintainence to patch subant than specifically exclude directories that happened to live at the same level, but don't yet have build files or don't need them. So the request is for the addition of a ignoreMissingBuildFiles atribute for subant. It should of course default to false to preserve the existing behavior, and when true cause subant to simply ignore any specified build file that is not found. (thus ignoring both a missing (default) build.xml, and any explicit build file that doesn't exist) so here comes the patch...
