## Class SoundTask

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectComponent
  - - org.apache.tools.ant.Task
    - - org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.sound.SoundTask

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Cloneable

      public class SoundTask
      extends Task

  Plays a sound file at the end of the build, according to whether the build failed or succeeded. There are three attributes to be set: `source`: the location of the audio file to be played `duration`: play the sound file continuously until "duration" milliseconds has expired `loops`: the number of times the sound file should be played until stopped I have only tested this with .WAV and .AIFF sound file formats. Both seem to work fine. plans for the future: - use the midi api to define sounds (or drum beat etc) in xml and have Ant play them back
