Michael, There has been some discussion (which I have neglected a little lately) about adding multithreading support to ant. I have made a proposal for adding an async flag to tasks to allow them to be run in a separate thread.
<task async="yes" /> Another thought which is being looked into is to define a collection of tasks as running async <async> <task1/> <task2/> </async> I will try and resume the discussion to get the basic shape of async tasks settled and then provide an initial implementation.
