If I understand correctly, signtool prompts you for a password, right? You cannot interact with Java program when started from Ant, since that program waits on System.in, which is never fed any characters, thus hangs.
If signtool can take the password on the command line, you could use the new <input> from Ant 1.5 to ask for the password before-hand, and pass it on to signtool on its command line. If signtool doesn't allow that, then you're out of luck... sorry, --DD -----Original Message----- From: Boro Nikic (QMP) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 11:56 PM To: 'Ant Users List' Subject: problem with exec task Can any one tell me why this target hangs on the last row of execution. signtool is Netscape's signing tool it asks for the password before completing signing and just before that it hangs.
