how about a --quiet command line option that would produce something like
--------------------------------
compile:
[copydir] Copying 2 files to F:\Projects\Jakarta\build\ant\classes
jar:
[jar] Building jar: F:\Projects\Jakarta\build\ant\lib\ant.jar
javadocs:
[mkdir] Created dir: F:\Projects\Jakarta\build\ant\javadocs
[javadoc] Generating Javadoc
--------------------------------
My main problem with it is that I customarily have about 10-20 targets and
when I do build majority output nothing (during a rebuild) but the output
scrolls of screen and I have to change windows and scroll
Cheers,
Pete
