Daemon Threads
I have a task that takes anywhere from 1-3 hours. I would like to initiate
it via Ant, but allow for the parent Ant target to return quickly. Is there
any way to create a zombie or daemon thread in ant?

Modified Selector Question
Posted by Gary Eberhart <ga...@cmcflex.com>.
Using the modified selector in the following example,
<ftp server="${ftp.server}" userid="${ftp.user}" password="${ftp.pwd}">
<fileset dir="htdocs/manual">
<modified/>
</fileset>
</ftp>
How can I generate the cache.properties against the files on the remote
system. I'm running AntServer on the remotes system. I want to generate the
cache.properties files based on the contents of the remote system and ftp it
back to the local system so I can use the Modified selector to send all
changed files to the remote system.

Hi Dustin,
you have different possibilities :
- use the java task with <spawn="true" fork="true"/> to start your task
(then you need to create a public void static main(String [] args) to
start it obviously,
- use the exec task ...
The spawn attribute is new in ant 1.6.
There have been problems reported with handling of IO. I think that the
HEAD revision of ant that you can get from CVS is better from this
viewpoint.
Otherwise, your task may die (depending on the operating system), if it
is using System.out(), System.err(), System.in().
Cheers,
Antoine
