<td valign="top">Message for the exception if the condition
doesn't hold true. Defaults to "Expected build failure" if

failure with message '<em>expectedMessage</em>' but was
'<em>actualMessage</em>'" if it has been specified and a

<h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>
<h4>all Ant tasks</h4>
<p>You can use all supported tasks and types as nested element of
this task.</p>
<h3>Examples</h3>
<p>Make the build fail with the message "expected build failure
with message='failed' but was 'passed'":</p>
<pre>
&lt;expectfailure expectedMessage="failed"&gt;
&lt;fail&gt;passed&lt;fail&gt;
&lt;/expectfailure&gt;
</pre>
<p>Make the build fail with the message "expected build failure"
because the nested task doesn't cause a build failure:</p>
<pre>
&lt;expectfailure&gt;
&lt;echo&gt;BUILD FAILED&lt;/echo&gt;
&lt;/expectfailure&gt;
</pre>
