Exec Task Hang-Up

           Summary: Exec Task Hang-Up
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: aajkaromeo@yahoo.com


When doing an <exec> on a startServer.sh or startServer.bat file or any files 
like that, the <exec> task tends to hang-up at that point and continues to wait 
until the file finishes executing.  However, it will never finish executing.  
We don't want that process/file to stop running, but we simply would like it to 
run in the background and allow ant to continue with the rest of the targets in 
the script.  A possible creation of a <spawn> task or something like that would 
be beneficial to many people.
