Yea, I was thinking the same thing (Ant does it this way), but sometimes you want the combined output (particularly with Windows command-line tools which seem not to get the whole stderr, stdout concept), and if you have two separate properties there is no way to recombined them in the order that the data was received. What if I add a new attribute called outputpropertymode which could be set to stderr, stdout, or alloutput (with the default set to alloutput). The names are open to suggestions. Just let me know and I'll make the changes.
