Hi I'm starting a process by configuring and executing Ant Java task from my software, see: https://maven-play-plugin.googlecode.com/svn/mavensite/1.0.0-beta5/play-maven-plugin/xref/com/google/code/play/AbstractAntJavaBasedPlayMojo.html https://maven-play-plugin.googlecode.com/svn/mavensite/1.0.0-beta5/play-maven-plugin/xref/com/google/code/play/AbstractPlayServerMojo.html https://maven-play-plugin.googlecode.com/svn/mavensite/1.0.0-beta5/play-maven-plugin/xref/com/google/code/play/AbstractPlayStartServerMojo.html
Sometimes I need to redirect output stream to a file when starting external process. This is configurable, but by default I start it with spawn flag set. When spawning, I cannot redirect process'es output stream to a file, Ant does not allow it. I wonder why. I found a workaround: When spawning I set system property telling spawned process to redirect its output to a file: https://maven-play-plugin.googlecode.com/svn/mavensite/1.0.0-beta5/play-maven-plugin/xref/com/google/code/play/AbstractPlayStartServerMojo.html#73 In the spawned process: https://maven-play-plugin.googlecode.com/svn/mavensite/1.0.0-beta5/play-server-booter/xref/com/google/code/play/PlayServerBooter.html#33 I don't like this solution, but it works if everything goes well. I the spawned process does not start (for example I try to allocate too much memory with Xmx argument) I cannot tell what went wrong. The reason is written to the output stream, but the output stream is not being output anywhere.
