I'm now sure this is a bug.  When I exec a java class it works as expected 
(detects the error level and the build fails).  When I execute a batch file, 
which in turn executes the java class, even though the batch file prints a 
non-zero error level, the build still succeeds.  So the bug is this:

failonerror does not work when executing a batch file (on windows 2000).
