Just did something similar to this using antcall and recursion. One routine to check/wait for a windows service to reach a desired state and another to check/wait for files in a directory to reach a certain state.
The routines being called invoke the <sleep> and the conditions for early exit, the caller specifies how many times (max) to call. It's a little convoluted but can be done without extending ant.

It sounds like a combination of <waitfor> and <fail> might meet your basic requirements, though you may have to provide your own condition implementation depending on what "the task" is. http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html Keith -----Original Message----- From: Hans Schwaebli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 February 2007 15:01 To: Ant Users List Subject: Does this work with Ant? How to do this in Ant: Call a task every x seconds for x minutes until the task completes successful. If the task completes successful, the build continues to the next statement. If the task is not successful after the maximum minutes are reached, fail. Write a Java class to encapsulate this or can this be done in Ant? --------------------------------- Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection. Try the free Yahoo!
