(Ant 1.8.2, XP SP3) Background: I’m using ANT to pipeline my conversion of XML (Excel) to PDF via the command line. So I chunked up the various steps into separate project files and import into the build.xml. At one point an XSLT created a bat file to copy required SVGs locally for use in the PDF. The bat file was executed using the <exec> task. A requirement came up to strip the DTD declaration out all the SVGs, so instead of creating a simple bat file to copy each SVG required it was changed to create a build file. In the build file are <copy> tasks and <filterchain> <tokenfilter> to strip out the DTD declaration. This ANT build does not exist as part of the main build.xml but executed within right after it has been created via XSLT. Hopefully that is clearer than mud.
So here is the unexpected or unusual (at least to me) behaviour. When the copy SVGs ANT build is executed and I hit ctrl C to stop the process to check the few files that have been copied over, the copy SVG build is still running in the background even though the main build.xml has been stopped. Is this behaviour correct and expected? I’m just curious more than anything and am not really looking for a solution. (To stop it copying I open the task manager and terminate the java task running.)
