       Body:
Hm.  I don't really understand why this is not a Maven issue.  My company's build machine only invokes Ant, so I have a build.xml which does an Ant <exec> to run the Maven command (.sh or .bat depending on platform).  Some time ago the builds for my project started always returning success, even when they have failed.

I've been a staunch proponent of Maven (against much resistance I might add) at my company.  This issue was highly visible... and not in a good way.  As you might imagine, failed builds that no one knows about are pretty serious.

All I know is that this used to work, the build machine has not been OS upgraded to XP or anything, and the EXIT %ERRORLEVEL% seems to fix the problem (although with the aforementioned nasty side-effects if you are running Maven in a CMD window yourself).

Could someone at least take the time to explain why this isn't a Maven bug?  Stuff like this may sound trivial but I can assure you that it is not.  The fact of the matter is that most people use and are familiar with Ant, so making Maven seamlessly callable from Ant is a pretty big requirement.  The Maven Ant task seems to be outdated (I spent quite a bit of time trying to get it to work but never solved forehead-related classloader issues).

Environment: Windows (XP)

Description:
Windows (XP) seems to not propagate the last ERRORLEVEL in batch files.  Thus, when calling maven.bat from an ant build file, ant reports success, even when maven fails.
