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?

Subject: 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
