Hi, I posed this question some time ago, but did not get any answers. I thought after half a year (and unfortunately no new insights) I'd try again, because this behaviour seriously prolongs our build time :-\
I stumbled upon a curious problem with the ant parallel handling in conjunction with Windows XP. Let's say I have 3 targets: call1, call2 and call3 which are executed in a parallel environment (2 threads). Each target calls a hello world windows GUI application that has to be closed manually and prints an exit confirmation afterwards. Ant starts call1 and call2 correctly in parallel. Now the curious thing is that ant will sometimes (not always) wait for _both_ tasks to end before it starts the third task. No output is written until both tasks are finished. The problem is not limited to GUI applications, we have the same behaviour if we call the VS2005 C++ compiler :-( We tried to reproduce the problem by replacing the hello world calls with various ant sleep commands, but this seemed to work fine, the third task is always started immediately after one of the first two tasks exits. Any insights? Regards, Thomas -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.
