This task is a wrapper task that lets you run tasks(s) when another set of tasks fails,
mirroring PHP's try/catch functionality (with the addition of
finally block)
The tasks inside of the try block will always be run. If one of
them throws a BuildException, the following things can happen:
If there is no catch block, the
exception will be passed to Phing.
If the property attribute has been set a property of that
name will contain the message of the exception.
If there is a catch block, the nested tasks will be
run.
If a finally block is present, the nested tasks will be run
regardless of whether the tasks in the try block have thrown an
exception or not.
This task was inspired by http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/trycatch.html.
