running external batch from ant

Hi there,

I would like to run an external batch file from ant. Of course no problem. But I notified that ant don't proceed until the batch execution finished. Is it possible to start the batch, let the output window open and proceed with ant ?

Thanks, Lothar

Re: running external batch from ant

Posted by Ninju Bohra <ni...@yahoo.com>.
In addition to the spawn="true" attribute (which is needed) you want the external process to be in its own window?
 
Assuming you are on a Windows OS you will need to actually launch (via the <exec> task) the following
 
             <exec executable="cmd" spawn="true" dir="${basedir}">
                <arg line="/k start "/>
                <arg value="batchfilename.cmd"/>
             </exec>

This should start a separate console window in which your batchfile.cmd will run asynchronously.
 
Hope that helps,
 
Ninju

Hello Lothar

Did you try the <....spawn="yes" ...> with the exec task?
