Is there a way to run something after ANT has finished with log output? I am trying to implement an auto-update feature of my ant scripts. They are in a SVN sandbox that all my users checkout. I would like the ANT scripts to check if the user's sandbox is up to date and run svn update if not. The problem is that you can't update yourself since some files will be locked by the OS since they are in use at the time. So I was thinking I could run the svn update command after ANT has completed the up to date check of the sandbox. I did this using the java svn client and the spawn/fork options of the java task. The spawn/fork options allow this svn update command to outlive the ANT process which allows the ANT process to die unlocking the files allowing them to be updated. Everything works well except the spawn/fork options prevent the output of the svn update command from displaying in the console. I would like the end user to see the update take place to know when it is complete. Anybody have any ideas?
