I'm new to the list, so please forgive me if something along these lines
has already been discussed, but here goes ...
I have created an Ant task to catch build failures, so that they can be
handled within the script itself - much like java try-catch.
It simply catches any build failures and sets a property instead. I have
then used this property in the 'if' or 'unless' clauses of other
targets. I'd like to get some feedback, and contribute the code if it
makes sense.
Usage:
<catch property="exception">
<javac srcdir="${srcdir}"
destdir="${builddir}"
includes="com/**"
deprecation="on"
failonerror="true">
<classpath refid="project.class.path" />
</javac>
</catch>
sets the property 'exception' if the javac task fails.
It seems to me that this would be pretty powerful to have in ant and it
worked really well for what I needed to do. If it makes sense to add this,
I'm more than happy to submit the code.
Any comments/ideas?
Thanks,
Scott Vlaminck
