Thank you Dominique, I suspected as much, but it still doesn't help :-(. I have 2 build files A and B - with A calling B via. an <ant> call.
case1: If I set an output for the <ant> call then the file generated is always from the default listener (/logger ?) - even if I specify a different logger on the command line. case2: If I remove the output property on my <ant> call and specify a listener (logger) on the command line when calling A, I do get the required output, but I have to make a second Ant call to transform and mail the file (it is not possible to transform an incomplete log file on the first call, and the log isn't complete until the build finishes): $ ant -logger org.apache.tools.ant.XmlLogger -logfile logs/A_build_log.xml -buildfile A.xml build_B $ ant -buildfile A.xml mail case2 is only a work around because in order to transform the xml and mail the results I have to make a second call to Ant. I notice there have a been a few other postings on the same subject: "Re: calling another build script with the XML logger" "Re: Build output in XML format" Is this to change in Ant 2?
