Question about

[schmitt <re...@gmx.net>]

Hello

I put <mail>  to my xml file and it doesn't work. I got the following
error

build.xml:6: Could not create task of type: mail because I can't find it
in the list of task class definitions

My version of Ant is 1.1 from a nightly build about two or three weeks
ago. Does this version not support <mail> or did I something wrong?

Yours
Stefan S

Thanks again

The FAQ helped me.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Currently, if a build was not
successful, Ant would throw a BuildException and stop the whole
process. This means, if your mail task is executed, you can be sure
the build has been successful up to here - otherwise you wouldn't get
a chance to send the mail.

If you want to send a mail containing information about the outcome of
the build, <mail> is not the way to go. Use a BuildListener instead,
there's an example in the FAQ that does exactly this.

Thanks
Now it works. I loaded Ant 1.2 and changed the PATH and CLASSPATH
variable. But now I have a new question.
Is it possible to check inside the xml file if the build was successful?

Must have been the time where the nightly builds have been broken. No
version of Ant except the release build of Ant 1.1 labels itself 1.1.

And yes, <mail> is new to Ant 1.2.
