How to run an ant target on success/failed build
I need to be able to trigger running a specific ant target when the build
succeeds, and another one when it fails. This will be used to send out an
email indicating the status of the build.
I have done this in the past in nant (.NET) which has a built in property
called nant.onsuccess and one called nant.onfailure.
Is there something similar in ant, or any does anybody know how to do this?
Thanks!

Thanks for this info! It seems the exec listener is the most flexible
solution. Not quite as simple as the hooks offered in nant, but it should
do the job. Thanks.

There's a nice presentation from Kev Jackson, that has an example
with exec-listener, src included =
http://people.apache.org/~kevj/ossummit/extending-ant.html
That listener is exactly what you're looking for.

One solution is to use ant-contrib's <trycatch> task:
1) Direct usage:
<trycatch>
<try>
<!-- Your code here -->
<mail message="Success" ... >
</try>
<catch>
<mail message="Failure" ... >
</catch>
</trycatch>
2) If you need the failure message in the mail (in combination with
ant-contrib's <if>):
<trycatch property="errormessage">
<try>
<!-- Your code here -->
</try>
<catch>
</catch>
</trycatch>
<if>
<not><isset property="errormessage"/></not>
<then>
<mail message="Success" ... >
</then>
<else>
<mail message="Failure: ${errormessage}" ... >
</else>
</if>
See http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/index.html for more
details.

Interesting, I didn't know you could do that. However I want to add some
custom messages and maybe some extra logic - not just mailing the logs.
I think Cruise Control is a good solution to manage the email notifications.
I am going to be using it anyways for automated builds.

You can do this by configuring the maillogger in your startscript:
ant build_ant.xml -logger org.apache.tools.ant.listener.MailLogger
Then you have to set the following properties
MailLogger.mailhost=
MailLogger.from=
MailLogger.failure.subject=failed
MailLogger.success.subject=successfull
MailLogger.success.to=someone@somewhwere.xx
MailLogger.failure.to=someoneelse@somewhwere.xx
Then you will send the output of Ant to the specifies addresses.
Another strategy (big solution) is using CruiseControl
