How to redirect stdout stderr in an ant script?

ant stdout cruisecontrol stderr
bguiz picture bguiz · Nov 12, 2009 · Viewed 9.8k times · Source

I am triggering an ant script (via cruise control), and would like to be able to dump the std out and std err for a particular ant target to a plain text file.

Yes, I am aware that cruise control already does maintain an XML log file containing this information (among many other things), but for portability reasons, I need this to happen from the ant script itself.

Is this possible, and if so, how to do it?

Many thanks!

It's easy:

ant -logfile <logfile> <command>

And you can also say to ant shut up:

ant -q <command>

It worked fine to me.
