How to redirect stdout stderr in an ant script?

Question

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!

Answer 1

It's easy:

ant -logfile <logfile> <command>

And you can also say to ant shut up:

ant -q <command>

It worked fine to me.
