Yep, this was something I was thinking about when the inheritance
discussion went on. I was going to clean things up afterwards and test
these cases (which reminds me, we still need unit tests for this).
We really need to separate the project/system props from the user props
so that certain properties don't get inherited. Or at least have a block
list that doesn't get inherited.
Another way to do this is to establish an event model so that you can
add an eventTask which will be called for certain things.
So I would image that something like this would be reasonable.
<project>
<event for="onsuccess">
<call targer="good"/>
</event>
<event for="onfailure">
<call target="bad-cleanup"/>
</event>
</project>
And I'd image that there would be events for the following things.
Start/End (pre/post?) for
1.) global tasks (as a group)
2.) individual targets (as they are called/executed)
3.) whole build process
As well as success/failure.
