Threads in a plug-in

[Gajo Csaba <cs...@cosylab.com>]

Hello,

I've developed a plug-in which executes some shell commands. I would 
like to run these commands in parallel with the rest of the build 
process, because they don't affect the other files. So I was thinking of 
creating a thread in the execute() method, starting it, and let it do 
its job. The problem is this works for some time, and Maven keeps on 
doing its job, but if Maven's lifecycle ends before the thread has 
finished its job, then the thread will be terminated as well.

Is there a way to instruct Maven to not terminate until the thread has 
finished, or at least to not terminate the thread itself?

Thanks, Csaba
