I think it is hanging because it is waiting for a password. Try <arg

Subject: RE: doing SourceSafe get
in my earlier message I'd asked about "-Y"
the user name and password I have is "ant, ant"
So when I write "<arg value="-Yant, ant" />, i get the following
D:\ap2\javasrc\server>ant getcode
Buildfile: build.xml
getcode:
[exec] Username: ant
then it just hangs there !!
