Can not accept characters  from keyboard in a thread  under ant java task

           Summary: Can not accept characters  from keyboard in a thread
                    under ant java task
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I have two classes one of them runs thread which is accepting data from 
keyboard.
Everything is going fine if I run my program in cmd window (Windows XP) like  
“c:\> java A “, where A is name of class with main method. I can accept symbols 
from keyboard in my thread. As soon as I run same program using ant, there is 
no respond from my program. It seems to me either there is something I need to 
add to "java" task as a parameter or something is wrong with ant.
 I also tried to run batch file from ant environment, but it did not help me.


Below you can find my test classes both batch file as well as  build file.
