Task connection cleanup
I created an Ant task that opens a shared connection that needs to be
cleaned up at the end of a build. So far, I have come up with three
ideas:
1. Wrap the task(s) in a connection task.
2. Cleanup on finalize.
3. Use a build listener and somehow register the connection for cleanup
(can a task implement a BuildListener?)
I would appreciate any comments on these ideas or alternative
suggestions.
Thanks,
David Morris

The idea with the BuildListener is OK.
A task in ant is simply a public class with a public void execute() method
in in it.
Tasks are identified as such when they are in the defaults.properties file
of org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs or when you use the <taskdef/> task to
introduce them.
So, yes, you certainly can create a listener class which is also a task.
What you also can do is create a disconnection task and separately a
listener which calls the disconnection task when the build is finished (with
success or failure).
The MailLogger is a logger which is taking action in the same circumstances
like the one you want to have (success or failure of the build).
The only point to pay attention on : it is unspecified what happens when a
listener delegates to a task which itself wants to use ant's logging system.

Have a look at the <sound> task for a built-in task that does very
thing, registers a BuildListener (not the same class, but it could be
certainly).
