Empty Output to File from Java Task if Java Fails

           Summary: Empty Output to File from Java Task if Java Fails
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.4
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: erico@sedonacorp.com


<java 
  classname="com.myclass.class"
  fork="yes" 
  failonerror="true" 
  output="mylog.log" 
>

I have a Java class that does a deployment task, sending large amounts of text
to stdout as it proceeds.  This text is never looked at unless it is needed for
debugging when the Java class fails for a variety of possible reasons. 
Consequently, I want to be able to log that output to a file and not bother with
it unless the Java class fails.  Unfortunately, if the Java class fails, the log
file is empty.

When the output attribute is set, somehow all Java output should be flushed to
the file for capture prior to the build failure.
