Possible to ignore build errors ?

[Bert Vermeerbergen <Be...@yucom.be>]

Is it possible to ignore (certain) build errors ?
The idea is: build target A depending on B, C and D.  Failing to build B will cause C and D not being build, although these may complete correctly.
During long nightly builds, doing as much as possible is better that simple stopping on the first build error.

Some tasks (<exec> and <javac> for example) support a failonerror
attribute - they will report the problem but not stop the build.

There is no general solution for this - but I'll add it to the Ant2
wishlist. It's something like make -k, right?
