Re: "catching" test failure/error (or more generally failure within calls)

[Geoffrey Mitchell <ge...@homedecorators.com>]

Use the "failureproperty" attribute of the junit task to set a property 
on failure.  How to propagate that back to your top level build is 
another question.  You could write out a file and check for it, I suppose.
