+ Using ANT to do nightly builds, I would like to receive an
+ email of the result, fail or not.  However, I could not
+ find a way to catch a failure in my build file.
+ 
+ Here's what I would want to do:
+ 
+ - if a failure occured, clean up any directory my build
+ created, rollback any changes I already made and send
+ the log file, including the error, by mail;
+ - if the build whent through, send the log file by mail.
+ 
+ The second one I can do easily.  The last target executed
+ simply sends an email.  However, if a failure occured,
+ the build process stops and I am never notified.
+ 
+ Since I could not find an easy way to do this (other than
+ writing an event listener, and even then I'm not sure if
+ it would work), I took it upon myself to modify the Project
+ class to include two new attributes: failure and done.  So,
+ my build XML file now starts with:
+ 
+   <project name="myBuild"
+            default="mainTarget"
+            failure="failTarget"
+            done="doneTarget"
+            basedir=".">
+ 
+ 
+ and I added the call to the "failure" and "done" targets in
+ the execution.  That way, I am always notified whenever
+ there's a failure in my build.
