Do batch files exit with an error code that is the same as
errorlevel? You might want to check this using something like
getRuntime().exec and checking the int returned. I thought that the batch
files had to call exit x to make them return a paticular exit code (which is
all that Java knows about, it doesn't see any environment variables)

Subject: Re: Possible bug with failonerror attribute of exec task
I'm now sure this is a bug. When I exec a java class it works as expected
(detects the error level and the build fails). When I execute a batch file,
which in turn executes the java class, even though the batch file prints a
non-zero error level, the build still succeeds. So the bug is this:
failonerror does not work when executing a batch file (on windows 2000).
