## Interface BuildLogger

All Superinterfaces:
  BuildListener, java.util.EventListener

All Known Implementing Classes:
  AnsiColorLogger, BigProjectLogger, CommonsLoggingListener, DefaultLogger, MailLogger, NoBannerLogger, ProfileLogger, RecorderEntry, SilentLogger, SimpleBigProjectLogger, TimestampedLogger, XmlLogger

    public interface BuildLogger
    extends BuildListener

Interface used by Ant to log the build output. A build logger is a build listener which has the 'right' to send output to the ant log, which is usually `System.out` unless redirected by the `-logfile` option.

### Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
`void` `setEmacsMode(boolean emacsMode)` Sets this logger to produce emacs (and other editor) friendly output.
`void` `setErrorPrintStream(java.io.PrintStream err)` Sets the output stream to which this logger is to send error messages.
`void` `setMessageOutputLevel(int level)` Sets the highest level of message this logger should respond to.
`void` `setOutputPrintStream(java.io.PrintStream output)` Sets the output stream to which this logger is to send its output.

### Method Detail

#### setMessageOutputLevel

    void setMessageOutputLevel(int level)

Sets the highest level of message this logger should respond to. Only messages with a message level lower than or equal to the given level should be written to the log.

Constants for the message levels are in the `Project` class. The order of the levels, from least to most verbose, is `MSG_ERR`, `MSG_WARN`, `MSG_INFO`, `MSG_VERBOSE`, `MSG_DEBUG`.

Parameters:
  `level` - the logging level for the logger.

#### setOutputPrintStream

    void setOutputPrintStream(java.io.PrintStream output)

Sets the output stream to which this logger is to send its output.

Parameters:
  `output` - The output stream for the logger. Must not be `null`.

#### setEmacsMode

    void setEmacsMode(boolean emacsMode)

Sets this logger to produce emacs (and other editor) friendly output.

Parameters:
  `emacsMode` - `true` if output is to be unadorned so that emacs and other editors can parse files names, etc.

#### setErrorPrintStream

    void setErrorPrintStream(java.io.PrintStream err)

Sets the output stream to which this logger is to send error messages.

Parameters:
  `err` - The error stream for the logger. Must not be `null`.
