While that's essentially a nice idea, the only thing <fail> currently does is throw a BuildException... how do you propose to pass this status all the way out of the JVM, especially when you really can't be sure whose main method is the starting point... usu. oata.launch.Launcher--which incidentally doesn't even call System.exit() itself... IIRC calling System.exit() would be a de-evolution of Ant...
