Well, I do it as follow:
<target name="validate_rel_dir">
<available property="rel_dir_validated" file="${RELEASE_DIR}"
type="dir"/>
</target>
<target name="validate_user">
<condition property="user_validated">
<equals arg1="${APPL_USER_ID}" arg2="${user.name}"/>
</condition>
</target>
<target name="validate" depends="validate_user, validate_rel_dir">
<fail unless="user_validated" message="\tERROR: Invalid user running
this script => ${user.name}\n\t The userid running this script must
match the envirnoment variable, APPL_USER_ID => ${APPL_USER_ID}\n\t
This environment variable is specified at the start of main in this
script"/>
<fail unless="rel_dir_validated" message="\tERROR: Release already
exists, please remove directory first: ${RELEASE_DIR}"/>
</target>
If I did it the way you suggest then I would have to create a couple of more
tasks. Which I could do.
Btw, instead of a series of <echo>s you could have:
<echo>
line1
line2
line3
</echo>
<fail> .... </fail>
thanks for your suggestion,

Subject: RE: Fail task
Sorry if Im being stupid- is there any reason why you cant
use many <echo>s followed by a final <fail>.
That's what I do
But I believe there's also a newline character in the HTML entities
spec which you can probably use.

Hi,
It would be nice if the task <fail> allowed the <echo> task as a nested
task. But, since i can't have this how would i get a multiline message
displayed using the <fail> task? is it possible to embed newlines (\n| and
tabs (\t) in the message?
thanks,
vince
