Unexpected behavior of java task when paralleled

           Summary: Unexpected behavior of java task when paralleled
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.4
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Not really a critical bug, but someone should put a note in the documentation 
to alert people to this.  It took me a little while to understand what was 
going on...

Here's the deal:

Task: java
Attribute: output - redirects console output to a file

That works fine.  Always has.  Then I tried putting a bunch of targets in 
<parallel>, where these targets were calling java with an output attribute.

The output comes out in the console.  A file is created, but it remains empty.

Solution?  add "fork=yes".  Forking the java process returns the behavior to 
normal.

Like I said: not really a big deal since it can easily be worked around, but a 
mention should be made in the documentation.

Cheers,
Matt
