Pulled the stuff on system.exit, because that is caught, and left a 'fork if
things go wierd' message to handle the other cases :-)

<h3>Description</h3>
<p>Executes a Java class within the running (Ant) VM or forks another VM if
specified.</p>
-<p>Be careful that the executed class doesn't call System.exit(), because it
-will terminate the VM and thus Ant. In case this happens, it's highly
suggested
-that you set the fork attribute so that System.exit() stops the other VM and
not
-the one that is currently running Ant.</p>
+<p>
+If odd things go wrong when you run this task, set fork="true" to use a new
+JVM.
