I was wondering if it would be possible to make the java task return (by some option e.g. service="true"), if i start a java service thread (e.g. tomcat). Most of the runtime scripts suplied with tomcat do determin the classpath setup Variables and start a javacomand with certain argements. I belief all of them could live inside a single build.xml file. I tried to acomplish this, which did almost work, but the <java> task never returned and kept waiting until the server was actually shut down. I belief (!) it would be easy to add this option to further releases of ant. --------------- sample build.xml file for tomcat -------------- <project name="tomcat" default="usage" basedir="."> <description> Tomcat startup and shut script for ant </description> <!-- (c) 2003 Jens Skripczynski This script must be placed in the root directory of the tomcat installation.
