Question

I’m using Elcipse’s AntRunner to excute the Ant task. When performing the javac task,if any compilation error occurs, I’m getting the following error messge in the console

C:\build.xml:41: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.

What I need to do for displaying the actual compilation errors on the console? How to I can log the same in a file? . Thanks

When Eclipse AntRunner has used, in order to show the Compilation errors on the console The

addBuildListener API can be used.

Create a class which extends the org.apache.tools.ant.DefaultLogger. For example

Class MyLogger extends DefaultLogger {

    // All overridden method implementation goes here
  }

//  To use with AntRunner:

   AntRunner antRunner = new AntRunner();
   antRunner.addBuildListener(MyLogger.class.getName());
