Is it possible specify Ant listener/logger inside build.xml, not on a command line?

Within the buildfile it's possible to make use of the ant api and create an internal task via scriptdef.
i.e. implemented with groovy:

It's also possible to adjust the loglevel inside the buildfile, see :

It's not in the build file, but you can set the ANT_ARGS env variable to specify the logger

<target name="real-build">
   <exec dir="${basedir}" executable="${ant.command}" failonerror="true">
    <arg line="-f build-all.xml target ${ant.logger}" />
   </exec>
</target>

  • This is not inside build.xml but opening a new java process with a new ant instance instead, similar to use the command line option -logger .. btw. assuming ${ant.logger} is -logger ... it should be arg line= ${ant.logger} -f ... => ant [options] [target [target2 [target3] ...]], see http://ant.apache.org/manual/running.html#options. – Rebse Jan 25 '13 at 21:13

Take a look at the Recorder task. http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/recorder.html
