[macker-developer] Adding ruleViolationProperty and errorProperty to Macker Ant Task

[Xandy J. <xa...@fg...>]

I'd like to see the Macker Ant Task have the ability to set Ant
properties both on error conditions and on rule violations.  This would
be very much like the failureProperty and errorProperty of the JUnit Ant
Task.  The errorProperty would be set if there is some error condition
other than rule violations (e.g. a malformed rule) and the
ruleViolationProperty would be set if there are rule violations.  A Use
Case for such a feature is sending email only if there are problems.

I spent a few minutes starting this, but that was over a week ago.  I've
attached the trivial patch of what I had so far.  I'm not even sure of
its state.  The main thing I don't know how to do is to handle the case
of a forked JVM.  I wish I had the time to see this through, but I'm
falling further and further behind on my "real" tasks at work and I'm
not sure when I'd get to this.  I'd really appreciate if someone else
would take the idea and run with it.

Thanks,
Xandy
