Hello Gert,
such a task does really makes sense, still, I feel we have two
(a bit) different approaches to solve the problem.
There is one "pro" for my approach -- it is possible to add "onfail"
attribute to a target element, thus, if target B depends on A, the B
gets executed and A fails during dependant targets execution, we can
do something on A failure:
<project default="B">
<target name="B" depends="A">
...
</target>
<target name="A" onfail="A.failed">
...
</target>
...
</project>
Probably, there is some sense in combining both of the approaches:
implementing <trycatch> task and leaving "onfail" attribute for target
only (I'd added it for task first and the next day found out, that I
need to handle the case similar to the one I've described above, so I
added it for target also).
Anyway, whatever the final idea of the solution will be, I'm ready to
participate in its development.
