I like it, in principle. In particular because I think it is better than adding
failonerror attributes
all over the place. I would suggest a couple of things:
1) Add a way to actually catch the exception being thrown and to rethrow it,
something like:
<catch id="myError" >
<!-- do some cleaning here -->
<fail refid="myError" />
</catch>
2) I would add to <echo> the capability to print the message and allow me to
continue the processing.
<catch id="myError" >
<!-- do some cleaning here -->
<echo refid="myError" />
<!-- continue processing -->
</catch>
