Re: 2.8.2 -> 2.8.4: antBuilderOutput.log deleted on ant task completion?

Thanks for your response, Jeffrey.  In experimenting with the saveLogDir
attribute, it appears it may be more of a workaround for me, for the
following reasons:

* It requires the directory to exist before the build is kicked off (check
is part of AntBuilder's validate() method), so I can't save it directly to
the project's build's artifacts folder (which is determined based on the
cctimestamp).  I think this check should be done later in the cycle,
probably just before the actual saving.

* It saves the log in XML form, and so I would have to further translate to
make it human-readable.  In fact, its contents are the same as what you'd
find in the resulting XML log file (it merely saves a separate copy of just
the /cruisecontrol/build portion).

* It names the log, "log.xml", so I'd have to use a directory path unique to
the project to avoid potential collisions with other builder threads.

* For some reason, I cannot use the project working directory (my
antWorkingDir) for saveLogDir, for it seems to be deleted (I haven't
investigated this too much, but it simply works if I use a different
directory).

Looking at code changes between 2.8.2 and 2.8.4, I can't figure out what
change would cause the antBuilderOutput.log to disappear, perhaps in
BuildOutputManager.java?

If you can see how I might be able to preserve the antBuilderOutput.log (I'm
even comfortable making a source code change to my instance if that would be
required), I would be most appreciative.

Thank you,
-Marc
