how to fail a task

[Nathan Coast <na...@blueyonder.co.uk>]

Hi,

I'm working on a number of custom tasks. In certain situations I want the tasks 
to fail causing the whole build to fail.  What is the correct way to do this? 
Throw a build exception? or is there some method to call that sets the build 
status to failed?

thanks
Nathan

throwing a BuildException is the right way.
