Class Exit

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.lang.Cloneable

    public class Exit

extends Task

Exits the active build, giving an additional message if available. The `if` and `unless` attributes make the failure conditional -both probe for the named property being defined. The `if` tests for the property being defined, the `unless` for a property being undefined. If both attributes are set, then the test fails only if both tests are true. i.e.

    fail := defined(ifProperty) && !defined(unlessProperty)

A single nested`<condition>` element can be specified instead of using `if`/`unless` (a combined effect can be achieved using `isset` conditions).

Since:
  Ant 1.2

Constructor Detail

### Exit

    public Exit()

Method Detail

### setMessage

    public void setMessage(java.lang.String value)

  A message giving further information on why the build exited.

  Parameters:
    `value` - message to output

### setIf

    public void setIf(java.lang.Object c)

  Only fail if the given expression evaluates to true or the name of an existing property.

  Parameters:
    `c` - property name or evaluated expression
  Since:
    Ant 1.8.0

### setIf

    public void setIf(java.lang.String c)

  Only fail if the given expression evaluates to true or the name of an existing property.

  Parameters:
    `c` - property name or evaluated expression

### setUnless

    public void setUnless(java.lang.Object c)

  Only fail if the given expression evaluates to false or tno property of the given name exists.

  Parameters:
    `c` - property name or evaluated expression
  Since:
    Ant 1.8.0

### setUnless

    public void setUnless(java.lang.String c)

  Only fail if the given expression evaluates to false or tno property of the given name exists.

  Parameters:
    `c` - property name or evaluated expression

### setStatus

    public void setStatus(int i)

  Set the status code to associate with the thrown Exception.

  Parameters:
    `i` - the `int` status

### execute

    public void execute()
                 throws BuildException

  Throw a `BuildException` to exit (fail) the build. If specified, evaluate conditions: A single nested condition is accepted, but requires that the `if`/`unless` attributes be omitted. If the nested condition evaluates to true, or the ifCondition is true or unlessCondition is false, the build will exit. The error message is constructed from the text fields, from the nested condition (if specified), or finally from the if and unless parameters (if present).

  Overrides:
    `execute` in class `Task`
  Throws:
    `BuildException` - on error

### addText

    public void addText(java.lang.String msg)

  Set a multiline message.

  Parameters:
    `msg` - the message to display

### createCondition

    public ConditionBase createCondition()

  Add a condition element.

  Returns:
    `ConditionBase`.
