I've never used the 'script' task in Ant. So after getting bsf.jar and
js.jar on my system (after several unsuccessful attempts at running
this build) I can't seem to catch *any* exception, including
java.lang.Exception. The script engine always generates an error. If I
remove the try/catch clause it's happy.
Is this the question you're really asking, is it possible to catch
exceptions in scripts? Sure doesn't seem so. I've checked all the
archives and I can't see where this issue's been discussed before (I
thought it had, but I can't find it.)
