there is a family of 20 or more processes run by my extended NxJava
command each with its own property file of launch attributes.
well, that is the price of completely decoupling ant from its child
processes.
These are
deliverables at customer sites and the added complexity means it would
be easier to revert to os-specific launch scripts.
Ant isnt really an application launch tool; its a build tool. Its over
complex for launching things, yet still has a fairly simplistic world
view (builds pass or fail) to be a workflow tool.
It might be better to execute the OpenOffice instance from within my
process via the os-command shell so that that spawns it or perhaps via
Ant from java which I have not yet tried, but now I will.
I'd use python to launch stuff if I could. Getting .bat files to work
properly is a nightmare.
