Repost - why ant doesn't exit when a script exits on windows?

[Yung Choi <ch...@bea.com>]

Should ant exit when it's executable script exit?
If it does not, is it a ant bug?
The followings is with ant 1.6.1:

A simple ant test file antTest.xml like this:

======================================================
<project name="test" default="test">
<target name="test">
   <exec executable="sh" failonerror="true">
     <arg value="-c"/>
     <arg value="startTest.sh"/>
   </exec>
</target>
</project>
======================================================

startTest.sh looks (using this with UNIX, make sure chmod +x
startTest.sh):

======================================================
#! /bin/ksh

date

sleep 60 > /dev/null 2>&1 &

date

exit 0
======================================================

ant -f antTest.xml

I believe that this antTest.xml should complete as soon as
the startTest.sh hits exit 0.
It does as I expect for Solaris, but not for windows.

So could I enter a bug report for this?
If so, where and how?

Thanks for any help,		- yung

I think it is a Java behaviour. Once I tried starting new programs with 
JNI and closed hProcess right after the process started and amazingly I 
did not have any problems with buffer overflows and exit blocking. 
Unfortunately there is no way in Java itself to close the process handle.
