JVM terminates when callling ant script from java

[Abdul Mohsin]

Hi,

I am trying to run ant script from java code like this:
Launcher.main(new String[]{"-f","C:\\Projects\\ant_projects\\chap1\\Echo2.xml"});
System.out.println("*********** In End");

and able to successfully call the ant script but it looks that JVM is terminated after calling ant script as the logger "in End" is not printed in the console.

Is there any way to change this default behariour of ant to exit the JVM?

Please help.

Looking at the source code, Launcher.main calls System.exit if there is a non-zero exit code. You could try calling the run method instead, like this:

int code = new Launcher().run(new String[]{...});
