Was thinking it would be useful for SchemaExport and Update to behave in a similar way to JUnit in that if something goes wrong when they are working they will set an error property. This would mean that when they are being used by an Ant build file we will be able to fail the build file if the export has some problems.
I'd envisage the build file looking something like this <target name="schemaexport"> <taskdef name="schemaexport" classname="net.sf.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExportTask" classpathref="schema.generate.classpath"/> <schemaexport properties="hibernate.properties" ... --> dropError="drop.failed" // perhaps not neccessary --> createError="create.failed" > <fileset refid="hibernate.mapping.files" /> </schemaexport> <fail message="Export failed, check log and reports" if="create.failed"/> </target> some stuff snipped (...) new property highlighted ( --> ). I think this can be done reasonably easily, and would be of benefit. Any comments or thoughts on this?
