Well, my intention is not to email each developer involved, but certain selected people for the various tasks (cvs checkout, copiling source code, building db, etc). then those people can review the problem they are assigned to and delegate to appropriate developer(s).
i guess my work is going to be tedious, there is no smooth way of doing this. I still feel that it would be best if ant would allow us to set a property for each task in case of error. that would make it much smoother.

Well, the usage of loggers and listeners is pretty straightforward, just give -logger option to the ant launching script: ant -logger fully.qualified.class.name or in the case of MailLogger ant -logger org.apache.tools.ant.listener.MailLogger -propertyfile my_MailLogger.properties where my_MailLogger.properties contains the setting needed by MailLogger. Let me ask you: why do you want to do this? It is a good idea to have the developers informed that the part from the build.xml they are responsible for is not working. However, in order to send a useful report you should collect info about the machine on which the build script is running (at least its hostname, to know where this report comes from), than java version, ant version. Next, even if the developers receive that error mails, the fault might not be theirs - the most simple example is a guy writing some non-compiling java code, then the compile target fails of course and the guy that has written the compile targets gets an email?!! What are they supposed do then - go and correct the first guy's wrong code?
