exec task doesn't handle error conditions well





------- Additional Comments From eric@timebytes.com  2003-11-21 21:54 -------
OK, here's an update: the suggestion to set a property based on the return 
value doesn't work when you're execing more than one sub-program.

Why?

Because of the way Ant properties work - they're immutable.  So after the first 
exec call, execError and errorText are both set and can't be changed! I suppose 
I could bury each exec call in an ant task that I <antcall> - but where does 
the ugliness end??
