Using build 'ant-20000626.zip' on Windows 2000, Sun's JDK 1.3 The java task isn't working for me. I needed the task to fork, but it seems that exec holds onto any started task now for piping the stderr, stdout stuff and does not let go until the task finishes, which isn't really much of a fork. :-) The holding on of the exec'd command and piping the output should be an option I think, rather than the default.
Also (probably because it isn't really forking) my application which uses Runtime.getRuntime().exec() itself is not working any longer. Any ideas? John Zollinger V.P. Software Engineering, CTO Sundog Technologies, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sundog.com/
