Running interactive progrsms

           Summary: Running interactive progrsms
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.4.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The Exec task can fork a process to do something when running a task. However, 
every line of the program's output it prefixed with the string "[exec]". Also, 
the standard input stream for the program seems to be /dev/null, by which I 
mean  that I can't type in the thing. This is usually fine, however, I 
sometimes need to run an interactive program from within a task, such as to ask 
the user for configuration settings, or the run a debugger. Perhaps the 
'<exec>' element should support a 'interactive' attribute, which would cause 
the program to be run as if from a user shell.
