Extending Java task to run external class

Hi,

I'm extending the Java task at the moment. Is it possible to execute an
external class in a separate VM using the task's methods? I see the fork in
the original Java task source, but it's private and I believe the protected
run method only runs the class in the current VM.

Thanks,
Kev

when that's true, does that mean the protected method run will run the class
in a different VM?

call setFork(true); that's a public method
