Thank you very much for the pointers. The patch for the bug report #50507 seems to tackle the streaming issue.
I guess that in Ant we always want to see the log by line, rather than with usual unix tools where the output is streamed. With unix tools, streaming is useful when pipelining commands. I guess we never do that with Ant. In the suggested patch, line ending "awareness" is only enabled when we merge both the standard output stream and the error one. So if somebody really want to do output stream pipelining, he most probably doesn't want mixing these streams. For such used case, the best approach would then be to extends the ExecTask and override createHandler() to implement its proper pipelining. Sounds reasonable ?
