Subject: How do I force ant to fail?


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
