Several recorders can exist at the same time. Each recorder is associated with a file. The filename is used as a unique identifier for the recorders. The first call to the recorder task with an unused filename will create a recorder (using the parameters provided) and add it to the listeners of the build. All subsequent calls to the recorder task using this filename will modify that recorders state (recording or not) or other properties (like logging level).
Some technical issues: the file's print stream is flushed for "finished" events (buildFinished, targetFinished and taskFinished), and is closed on a buildFinished event.
