Hello Juergen,
You're right, I'm not using Eclipse 2.7. I'm actually using 3.7 at the moment, although I've been using Eclipse for years and have used much older versions of it in previous years. The '2.7' was just a typo that I missed. Sorry about that.
I was not running anything other than the build script in Eclipse during the time I had the problem that I described. I certainly had other programs running on the computer but I can't think of anything that was running outside of Eclipse that would have been a problem. I think I just had my email and a few browser tabs open.
I was just surprised to find my build stuck. It apparently had moved beyond a certain point for several hours while I was out. The point where it stalled was during an FTP task so, even if the connection to the server had been lost, I would have expected the FTP task to detect that and react with an error message but there was nothing at all. I was also concerned that Eclipse didn't detect that something was wrong after so long; it seemed to think that the build was still running normally. Even after I hit the Stop button on the console and killed the task in the Debug window, it still didn't recognize that the build was not running any more. I had assumed that Eclipse could monitor its own tasks better than that.
But I'm not in a panic about this. After stopping and starting Eclipse, everything seemed fine again so I'm not going to spend more time on this unless it becomes a problem again.

Hello, Best hint: Maybe you had a few programs in Eclipse started. To really stop your Ant Task you have to make sure, that you stop the correct console. I use Eclipse Indigo (3.7) and before I used 3.6 and 3.5. I use it every day and I cannot remember to see such an effect. But anyway stopping and starting Eclipse is not unusual for me in many circumstances (There are days when Eclipse drives me crazy...). So this would not bother me, just surprise, and after a restart everythings fine. Do you really use 2.7? This seems to be a very old Eclipse!! --- Jürgen -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Rhino [mailto:rhi...@sympatico.ca] Gesendet: Samstag, 19. November 2011 05:34 An: ant-user Betreff: Cancelling Ant Build in mid-flight? I just had an unusual problem. My Ant build stalled in mid-flight with no messages or warnings to tell me why. I wanted to simply run it again but every time I tried to start it, Eclipse told me that there was already an Ant build in progress. I had no idea how to stop a build which didn't really seem to be running in the first place. (I started the build and it seemed fine then went out for a few hours and it seems to have stalled shortly after I left.) I tried clicking on the red "stop" square but that didn't seem to have cancelled it. I terminated it and removed it in the Debug window but that doesn't seem to have killed it either. Finally, I got it to die by exiting Eclipse and restarting it. In case this should happen again, what is the right way to kill an Ant build in Eclipse? I'm running Eclipse 2.7 with the native Ant, which is Ant 1.8.2. I'm on Windows XP SP2. -- Rhino --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
