-----------------------------------
Summary: Fork patch
Key: MEXEC-109
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEXEC-109
Project: Maven 2.x Exec Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: exec
Affects Versions: 1.3
Reporter: Henryk Konsek
Attachments: maven-exec-fork.patch, maven-exec-fork.reverse-patch
Hi guys,
The topic of fork exec (aka background process) has been raised few times here
however there is still no such functionality in the trunk. Therefore I created
patch (plus tests) for the trunk that provides the basic version of that
feature.
My proposal is to add <fork> option to the configuration:
<configuration>
<fork>true</fork>
<executable>/opt/bin/myLongRunningProcess</executable>
</configuration>
The background process is automatically killed when the Maven JVM exists. In
the future we could add an additional shutdown hooks (on given Maven phase for
example).
This patch saved my life in few projects with heavy exec-related integration :)
. Could somebody take a look at it and (hopefully) add it to the trunk? Running
the process in the background is essential for many people and we just need in
the trunk.
Kind regards.
PS I'm attaching both regular and reverse patch.
