Description Pierre.Jourdan 2001-07-23 07:09:09 UTC 
Ant is so good, that I use it to launch java programs (with the java core task).
Problem: The Output and Error Stream of the java tasks are merged into the 
system standard output stream, removing any change to make a distinction between 
them. 
The Input stream is not passed at all, thus make it impossible to launch a 
java program that want to use the standard input stream !

I hope it was not made on purpose and is just two lines of code to add in files:
/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/ExecuteJava.java and Java.java

Hope to see that as a fix in 1.3

degrading to Enhancement - even though it is a very important issue.

It was more than just two lines of code but it is now done. You can specify the
input stream, separate the output and error streams. Implemented in Ant 1.6
