BTW, wenn Du Umlaute in Kommentaren benutzen möchtest, solltest Du 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> an den Anfang setzen,
"benoetigt" sieht blöd aus 8-)

OK, back to English - errm, my version of it.

I still think, you could simply write a build listener, that catches
the exception thrown by <javac> (doesn't antcall propagate the
exception and therefore terminate your build anyway?) and reports the
problem.

Something like the BuildListener from the FAQ -
<http://jakarta.apache.org:8080/jyve-faq/Turbine/screen/DisplayQuestionAnswer/action/SetAll/project_id/2/faq_id/16/topic_id/196/question_id/741>
- but it would check, whether target and task are "correct" and ignore
all other errors.
