In the Manning & Sams books and onLine, I have not found an equivalent to the 'c' exit(nbr) and the batch "if errorlevel" (as appropriate for an OS) - at least that I recognize. A page number in the books would work. I am very aware of try/catch/... type of processing and can control graceful termination or continuation - this is not what I need. I need the capability at the system level for ANT-use to be able to make equivalent decisions that we currently have in place using exit(nbr). Would prefer the suggestion as a vanilla part of ANT rather than using a plug-in that may be a more sophisticated version of the interim-'c'/assembler/Java/ANT munge that gets the job done but is really scary! Said another way, we could have from 0 to 255 possible processing-outcomes that need to launch the next processing step and not as a Java thread (we have more than enough of those dealing with the outliars and processing leverage-points)! We have found our winGate systems run out of resources if the code is written the way it should be - hence the reason we are doing this in a step'd-wise way.
Now all that said, give me your best shot. Maybe you have something that is ANT-better? It just has to fit on the winGate systems!
