Message output level not public for Project class
Ant Devs,
Working on a custom task that will exec an external program. One thing I
would like to do is if ant is invoked with debugging output level, set the
debugging flag to the external program.
Unfortunately, it seems to get the current logging level is not easy, as
the level set when Ant is invoked is private with no getter method to
retrieve it. I see the level is passed into build listeners, but those
APIs also do not expose the level.
Is there any way to retrieve the current logging level, and if not, is
reasonable to make the current level accessible via a public method in the
Project class?
Best regards,
--ewh

This is very helpful. Did not even consider using reflection. I adapted
your method into a static utility method that given a Project instance,
will return the logging level for it.
Thanks,

A new method has been introduced on BuildLogger interface called
getMessageOutputLevel() which will return the currently set level. This
will be available in the next Ant release.

With Ant 1.10.x version requiring Java 8, I think it should now be
possible for us to add a new (default) method to the
org.apache.tools.ant.BuildLogger interface to return the current set (or
some default) log level. I will add something along these lines shortly.

Hello Earl,
So far I've used this workaround to retrieve the log level:
https://github.com/Riverside-Software/pct/blob/d8446a002aaf2efb255d2016a16e9a71f7ad269f/src/java/com/phenix/pct/PCT.java#L593
Usage in the Ant task:
https://github.com/Riverside-Software/pct/blob/master/src/java/com/phenix/pct/PCTRun.java#L475
Code was written years ago, there might be a better solution now.
