           Summary: Improvement to 'spawn' attribute
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: web@delusions.de


If this is the right place to ask this, I will, if not please ignore me. If this
is already in place I'd be grateful for a hint. 

I would like to be able to store the pid of a spawned process in an ant property
to be able to easily kill the spawned process after a build. If this is
impossible to do please ignore this request, I really have no idea how
complicated this might be.

Example: my test target starts an rmi server, I spawn this because I want to
continue with my build after starting the server. Then I run a test client,
afterwards I want to stop the server and the rmiregistry. This may not be the
best example because this specific problem might possibly be solved
programmatically within my code but I would need to modifiy my code for testing
which is not quite my favorite option.

Otherwise: thanks for an absolutely cool tool which makes every day as a
developer more enjoyable, keep up the great work.
