[PATCH] SendMail task (was: [SUBMIT] SendMail task)

["Twiggs, Glenn" <Gl...@bmc.com>]

Oops! I think I was supposed to preface the subject of this email with
[PATCH].

Also, going through my local list archive, I noticed an "Email" task was
submitted not too long ago, but that it was not checked in. The "Email" task
relies on the "javax.mail" package for it's implementation. My "SendMail"
task relies on the "com.apache.tools.mail.MailMessage" class already a part
of the ant distribution. I think the "SendMail" task is easier to use for
this reason, but I will deferr to use whichever task gets checked in.

Glenn.

Subject: [SUBMIT] SendMail task


Attached is code for a SendMail task and a diff for defaults.properties. I
hope this task can be useful to others - I've gotten very attached to it.
Here is an example usage:

	<target name="finish" unless="${build.failed}">
		<sendmail
			from="build@mycompany.com"
			toList="build-list@mycompany.com,
dist-list@mycompany.com"
			subject="Build ${build.id} : OK"
			files="${changes.txt}, ${build.log}" />
	</target>

There are a few cleanup items that I would like to get to:

* replace toList attribute with "to" subelements.
* replace files attribute with "file" subelements, and send these files as
attachments. Currently, the text from the file is written in the body of the
mail message.

Thanks!

Glenn.

Glenn,

I've committed that, thanks. I made three changes

Added apache copyright
Changed name to SendEmail to avoid confusion with Unix sendmail
Added an ouput log message just before email is sent
