Hi Laxma, I suppose the Java application that you want to start with the <java/> task is really a kind of background process or server running permanently. With ant 1.5, you can use parallel to do other activities in ant while your application server is being started and run, or you can use the exec task and a shell-script wrapper to start your java program.
With ant 1.6alpha, the java task has a spawn attribute with which you can say : I want this process to run in background.

Hi friends, <target name="run" description="runs the application"> <java classname="com.nokia.platypus.Start" failonerror="true" fork="yes" classpath="${compile_classpath}:${build}"> <arg value="-pdd ..\conf\oclient_pdd_vc.xml"/> <jvmarg value="-Dplatypus.trampoline=false"/> <jvmarg value="-Duser.region=GB"/> <jvmarg value="-Duser.language=en"/> <jvmarg value="-Dswing.defaultlaf=com.nokia.platypus.nlaf.NokiaLookAndFeel"/> <jvmarg value="-Djava.naming.provider.url=t3://172.21.113.98:7942 -Xmaxf0.10 -Xms32m -Xmx256m"/> <jvmarg value="-Djava.naming.factory.initial=weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory"/ > <jvmarg value="-DPlatformHost.IP=localhost"/> <jvmarg value="-Dflexlm.licensefile=..\conf\lmdlicmx.dat"/> </java> </target> When I run the above target, it goes into executing mode saying "executing task "run" " and never returns and even sometimes I couldn't cancel it though I can work with other applications. I am unable to point out what's the problem is ??. I am just transferring my IDEA environment to a ant build script file. Though I am running it in verbous mode .. At least I want to know what's wrong ? How can I debug this situation ?? or is something wrong with this target ??
