public class CreateConsoleAppenderTask
extends CreateAppenderTask

A Rhino management sub task for creating a log appender with output directed to the console.

Ant Parameters
Attribute	Type	Description	Required
appendername	String	Name of the appender to create. This name must be unique.	Yes.
direct	boolean	Log directly to the output stream instead of via the System.out/err PrintWriter	No.
follow	boolean	Follow changes to the destination stream of System.out/err. Incompatible with `direct`.	No.
target	String	Either "SYSTEM_OUT" or "SYSTEM_ERR". The default is "SYSTEM_OUT".	No.
ignoreexceptions	boolean	Log exceptions thrown by this appender then ignore them. If set to false propagate to the caller (used to support selective appenders e.g. FailoverAppender).	No.
failonerror	boolean	Flag to control failure behaviour. If 'true', the sub task will throw a `BuildException` when an error is encountered. If 'false', the sub task will throw a `NonFatalBuildException` instead of a `BuildException` under specific circumstances. See below for conditions (if any) which will cause a `NonFatalBuildException`.	No. Default value is taken from the Rhino management parent task.

Nested elements
Element	Description	Required
filter	A filter to select events that will be reported by this appender.	No.
layout	The layout to use to format log events. If no layout is supplied the default pattern layout of "%m%n" will be used.	No.

NonFatalBuildException throw conditions

This task will throw a NonFatalBuildException if the appender cannot be created, eg. an appender with the same name already exists.
