But you can send just one email with a summary of everything that

The fact that the system did :

   call fetch-depends
   call build clean
   call build
   call test

should have no bearing on how many emails it sends.



Agree. But instead of one line of code in the build we have 20+ in the tool (and 3 in my bat-file to do full testing cycle for classlib). Of cause, tool
can do it (and do now) but we can do some things more easy.


Can I ask what you are trying to do? The build-test thingy wont' get simpler because of this patch, because we want the build-test tool to record it's actions in fine detail, and the only way to do that is to do the actions individually. Therefore, calling some do-everything target is a non-starter as lots of important information will be lost, with the only gain I can see is saving 19 lines of code that we'd write once and everyone would use.

it just hides information for no gain.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your motivation?

Having that target in classlib is fine. But I can't see why we'd ever want to use it in the context that we are discussing it....
