Make <apt> ant task respect the fork attribute
----------------------------------------------

         Key: BEEHIVE-374
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-374
     Project: Beehive
        Type: Improvement
  Components: Build  
    Versions: V1Beta    
    Reporter: Kyle Marvin


The <apt> ant task is built on top of the built-in <javac> task, which includes 
a "fork" attribute enabling in-proc invocation of the compiler.   Currently, 
the apt task ignores this attribute and will always launch the apt executable 
in a seperate process.

The Javac ant task has a pluggable architecture for invoking different 
compilers and already has support built in for the various jdk compilers, 
jikes, sj, etc.

I think doing this would only involve writing one of these CompilerAdaptor 
classes for in-proc APT invocations, then modifying AptTask to configure it.

Sample compiler adaptors can be found in the ant source distribution under 
src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/compilers.
