Description David Corley 2006-06-13 17:22:00 UTC

Basically I think allowing the user to specify whether or not they want to see
every file being zipped/unzipped/copied/moved is a good idea. The zip and copy
tasks are taking up a lot of unnecessary space in my build log because of
logging individual file operations. Whats worse, the delete task has the option
(verbose), but it doesn't work!

Alternatively there is a <quiet> task implementation here : https://sourceforge.net/p/taskcall/code/21/tree/trunk/quiet/src/main/Quiet.java
It makes it possible to filter the log level when invoking nested tasks, for instance :
    <quiet level="warn">
      <echo level="info">Ok !</echo>
    </quiet>
Will effectively not log anything.
