Using a project property seems not possible since targets are executed using antcall task which creates a subproject. So the property can't be created in the parent project. The other option is to use a file "jboss.server.shutdown.failed" and fill it with server names failed to shutdown. Then decide whether to fail the build based on it. The file name could be configurable as well. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4118710#...
