http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23686 <exec> doesn't work well with interactive programs ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-10-13 13:06 ------- Hmm, good question, I was sure this would be documented in the <exec> page. I'll add this shortly. It means we don't know how to properly fix it, some issues: * Ant will not know whether a spawned prcess is going to ask for input - and how much. Reading from System.in is a blocking operation. Whan should Ant start to read it, when should it stop? * The started process may try to read from the input immediately, this means Ant must start pumping input into ut even before it gets time to read something from the process. * If multiple tasks are running simultaniously (<parallel>), which one will get the input? All those problems are not present for the input and inputstring support in Ant 1.6. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
