Apache Ant - program output accompanied by "[java]" tags -

a stupid question, couldn't find answer anywhere.

currently learning apache ant , started making basic build file , java project prints line of string console. outputted when used command

ant compile jar run

ps c:\users\zayd\desktop\apps\pbox> ant compile jar run buildfile: c:\users\zayd\desktop\apps\pbox\build.xml  compile:     [mkdir] created dir: c:\users\zayd\desktop\apps\pbox\build\classes     [javac] c:\users\zayd\desktop\apps\pbox\build.xml:9: warning: 'includeantruntime' not set, defaulting build.s ysclasspath=last; set false repeatable builds     [javac] compiling 8 source files c:\users\zayd\desktop\apps\pbox\build\classes  jar:     [mkdir] created dir: c:\users\zayd\desktop\apps\pbox\build\jar     [jar] building jar: c:\users\zayd\desktop\apps\pbox\build\jar\main.jar  run:     [java] ~we'll go down in history~  build successful total time: 1 second 

is there way remove '[java]' tags being printed alongside program output?

by default, no can't. task prefix in output controlled ant's logging mechanism, not java task there no way change java task usage remove output.

the way write own buildlogger customize build event messages, instruct ant use custom logger instead of defaultlogger ant uses default. see https://ant.apache.org/manual/listeners.html (the link includes pointer writing own listeners , loggers).

if intend , not asking curiosity, here's snippet taken defaultlogger pinpoints how build event message logged task name:

/**  * logs message, if priority suitable.  * in non-emacs mode, task level messages prefixed  * task name right-justified.  *  * @param event buildevent containing message information.  *              must not <code>null</code>.  */ public void messagelogged(buildevent event) {     int priority = event.getpriority();     // filter out messages based on priority     if (priority <= msgoutputlevel) {          stringbuffer message = new stringbuffer();         if (event.gettask() != null && !emacsmode) {             // print out name of task if we're in 1             string name = event.gettask().gettaskname();             string label = "[" + name + "] ";
