On Windows if a process spawns children (grandchildren of Ant in this case) they inherit the streams of their parent. In cases where a process forked by Ant spawns new processes and then finishs Ant would wait for the grandchildren which is not desired. Instead we want Ant to go on once the forked process is done. > To deal with InterruptedException, you can just do a timed read and > test the interrupted flag before looping back to the blocking read. I'm not sure I follow you here. Are you talking about NIO's Selector with "timed read"? When Ant was changed to use polling we still lived in Java 1.3 API land and so never looked at NIO options. I'm afraid the InputStreams provided by the Process class won't provide SelectableChannels, though.
