I've just search Apache's Bugzilla, and couldn't find the fix that you posted (not that it's not there necessarily, I just didn't find it!). I tried the async and exec keywords. Could you give me the bug number and a URL to the bug database you're talking about? Or include the files directly in your response? (this must not be that big). Thanks, --DD
PS: If not in a future release, this functionality should be in the ANT FAQ IMHO. -----Original Message----- From: Charles Hudak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 11:08 AM To: 'Ant Users List' Subject: RE: Running <exec> tasks asynchronously on UNIX also on Windows? I've posted a fix (someone did it on my behalf) to the bug database for this issue that allows you to launch the <exec> task asynchronously (i.e. fire-and-forget). You can either cut and paste the solution from there or I can send you the files. Obviously this functionality needs to be included in a future release as there have been MANY requests for it.
