ant hangs if xmlproperty can not connect to dtd url

           Summary: ant hangs if xmlproperty can not connect to dtd url
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Optional Tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: pabdi@esportz.com


xmlproperty tag is applied in a traget to a xml that has a dtd with http url. 
Ant fails to run the task with error: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
if the remote server hosting the dtd is not available.

Work around is to remove the dtd line so ant could finish its task. Which 
causes other developement environment related issues (i.e. IDE etc.).

So perhaps a better behavior is to give an option if the user wants to 
validate. 

thank you.
