Actually the reason to implement keep-alive (originally keep-going) is to find as many problems as possible. It is done by executing all targets that do not depend directly or indirectly on failed targets. It is not fail-on-error flag - the build will still fail.
There is a link that explaining the feature in make: http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/make/make_52.html#IDX188 - Alexey. -----Original Message----- From: peter reilly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 7:18 AM To: Ant Developers List Subject: Re: [Patch] keep-alive feature The keep-alive feature is not quite the same as a fail-on-error on each task, it is more like a fail-on-error for each target. I have test-driven it in my build env where I have a large number of c++ programs to compile. It is nice to able to change a header file and then compile all the programs again, and use next-error to hop tru all the errors. For the nightly build and for normal use however, I want to fail on the first error.
