Is it possible to specify logger for ant inside build.xml?

Question

Is it possible to specify Ant listener / logger inside build.xml and not on the command line?

Answer 1

Inside the build file, you can use ant api and create an internal task using a scriptdef .
i.e. using groovy:

You can also configure the log level inside the assembly file, see:
stack overflow
stack overflow

Answer 2

This is not in the assembly file, but you can set the env variable ANT_ARGS to indicate the registrar

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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