[Anthill] Re: Ant declares the build failed, Anthill sends email saying the build passed ??!!

[varban]

Hi Marcio,

this is a problem with the ant.bat file that comes with the Ant 
distributions. The batch script does not return the real exit code from 
the java process, instead it returns 0 which confuses AnthillOs as to 
the real outcome of the build. If you switch the ant.bat file in the ant 
distribution you are using with this one: 
http://www.urbancode.com/download/ant.bat
AnthillOs will be able to detect the failures.

Regards,
Varban
