RE: -quiet mode, annoying output....

[Scott Stirling]

It'd be a useful enhancement if -quiet suppressed all output.  Currently, -quiet only produces "less" output, just as -verbose produces "more."   For automation tools working with Ant builds, for example, I've found that the most reliable thing to do is use the -logfile flag.  On UNIX you can -logfile /dev/null to junk all the output if you want.   Scott Stirling -----Original Message----- From: Jason Rosenberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 22, 2000 2:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: -quiet mode, annoying output.... What does the -quiet option do?  I am using 1.2.   I am trying to suppress the display of each target processed, especially in the case where I have targets whose sole purpose is to set a flag, etc.   I'm getting the following over-informative output (can I suppress this reporting of each target and dependent target processed?):   #########################################################3   D:\NewWork\SourceRoot>ant clean EventUtilities Searching for build.xml ...
