Description Jan Benway 2002-05-07 18:10:11 UTC

It would be nice if compiler output included a timestamp to make it clear which run of the 
compiler produced the output. This can be a help in figuring out whether "Finished Foo" is from 
the most recent compilation or whether the compiler did anything. May be most helpful for 
newbies, but requested by users in a recent usability test:

I am not sure ant provides any timestamp of the running process. Anyway I think
it's useless request.

Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2005-11-08 16:28:19 UTC

Probably does not apply to the current Ant integration, which by default reuses
old output windows anyway.
