Your buildfile does not exit with "build failed" in this case? Can you post
a snippet of your buildfile? (Just to make sure everything is as it should
be :-) )

The source for this task contains
if (err != 0) {
if (failOnError) {
throw new BuildException("Exec returned: "+err,
location);
} else {
log("Result: " + err, Project.MSG_ERR);
}
}
so ant generally tries to behave like expected. Let's have a look on your
snippet and if it looks right I will try wo reproduce this.
