Summary: I'm trying to write some checkin tests using Ant. They use jdk14, so I do a 
simple recusion to make sure JAVA_HOME is set properly. if="jdk1.4", I then run the 
tests with a simple:
 
    <java classname="jbtest.JBTestRunner" fork="yes" failonerror="true"> .... </java>
 
Works great. When the tests fail, I get a BUILD FAILED from Ant, just like I want!
 
Except... to set jdk1.4 I had called:
 
    <exec executable="${antexec}" dir="." failonerror="true">
      <env key="JAVA_HOME" value="../build/jdk1.4"/>
      <arg value="${targetName}"/>
   </exec>
 
And this I cannot get to fail. So even when the nested Ant script fails, this one 
still succeeds, even though I have a failonerror set. I assume it's because the exec 
actually does succeed, it's just the ant script that was called from it that failed. 
 
Does this make sense? How can I get the outer Ant script to fail. Or more to the 
point, when my tests fail I want total system failure. I want it to say BUILD FAILED 
and just stop. 
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks
