> Please update the documentation site for tools to mention the undocumented exitOnFinish system property, on the various Tools webpages, where it says "Make sure you set the "fork=true" attribute for the <java/> task". I spent several hours trying to figure out why the ant task was not failing the build when the wsdl2java and java2ws java tasks were failing, even with fork=true and failonerror=true. The fix is to add <sysproperty key="exitOnFinish" value="yes"/> to the <java> task properties. I finally saw this in the source code, working back from the stack trace, and afterwards noticed that Daniel adds this value by default to some example ant tasks. A better fix might be to set this value to true by default instead of false, so that the java task would work properly according to the ant documentation.
