Description Rajesh Honnawarkar CLA 2002-09-03 17:46:13 EDT 
If I want to submit the ant -logfile <filename> option to Ant within Eclipse, I 
cant seem to figure out a way to do it.

Running ant just from the commandline, I can do the following if I want 
messages to be written to a file instead of to the command prompt:

ant -logfile build.log

and it works. I need to do the same within the IDE.
Comment 1 Simon Arsenault CLA 2002-09-06 15:38:22 EDT 
Have you tried adding "-logfile build.log" to the argument field?
Comment 2 Darin Swanson CLA 2002-09-18 15:36:50 EDT 
Adding "-logfile build.log" to the argument field creates the build.log file 
but nothing is logged to this file.
Comment 3 Darin Swanson CLA 2002-09-19 11:59:51 EDT 
Fixed in InternalAntRunner (core) and AntBuildLogger (ui).
Comment 4 Darin Swanson CLA 2002-09-19 12:00:12 EDT 
Please verify (Jared)
Comment 5 Darin Swanson CLA 2002-09-19 15:38:23 EDT 
Fixed so that -logfile works when "Show execution log in console" is turned off 
(changes to NullBuildLogger).
Comment 6 Darin Swanson CLA 2002-09-27 11:32:09 EDT 
Please verify (Luc)
Comment 7 Luc Bourlier CLA 2002-10-03 18:00:31 EDT 
Verified.
Please update the build notes (jared).
