I used antcallback from antcontrib in my Buildfile:
<antcallback target="junittests" inheritall="false"
return="dope.test.failed">
<param name="cvs.project" value="@{dope.modul}" />
<param name="dope.buildtime" value="${dope.buildtime}" />
</antcallback>
So I got back if one of my tests failed.
antFetch is the same für calling external Buildfiles.
Use http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=36177 to get
antcontrib.

No, it isnt
1. you should have a common build file that is pulled in to the main file with
<import>; it can do the result output
2. you can create a test.failed file for every project
(build/results/tests.${ant.project.name}.failed) if -and only if- the tests
for that project failed.
3. then, the toplevel file uses <available> to look for any file matching that
pattern, which implies that the test failed.
