+ Hi Anties,
+ 
+ I wrote a class to capture build errors that a task/target might throw by
+ implementing the BuildListener interface. The way I tested it out was as 
+ follows:
+ 
+ <project default="A" >
+ <target name="A" >
+ <copy file="doesnotexist.txt" tofile="doesnotexist2.txt" />
+ <!-- both the above files do not exist -->
+ </target>
+ </project>
+ 
+ 
+ and wrote a class that implemented the BuildListener interface.
+ Even though the copy fails and I get the message
+ "Could not copy file doesnotexist.txt to doesnotexist2.txt" from Ant,
+ the BuildEvent object passed to the taskFinished() method [ implemented
+ in the BuildListener interface ] returns a null with getException()
+ ..Is this because a failed copy is _not_ an exception at all in Ant's mind
+ or a bug so that setException() is not called before calling taskFinished() on 
+ an error?
+ 
+ I hope I have made the problem clear.
+ If Ant is doing the "right" thing, let me know how I can accomplish 
+ this 'task' :-) ?
