The problem is that the app is not running in batch mode. It takes user input. It isn't a task that you just give some parameters and say "go off and do something and come back when you finish". It is an interactive app that you ask it each time to do a new thing. So, once it is running, I need to be able to type commands to the program. Sending parameters to it when it starts isn't useful in this case. Is there any way to do that running under ant with the <java> task or any other task in ant?
