Retry is a container which executes a single nested task until either: there is no failure; or: its retrycount has been exceeded. If this happens a BuildException is thrown. Since Apache Ant 1.7.1
| Attribute | Description | Required |
| retrycount | number of times to attempt to execute the nested task | Yes |
| retrydelay | number of milliseconds to wait between retry attempts task. Since Apache Ant 1.8.3 | No, defaults to no delay |
Any valid Ant task may be embedded within the retry task.
