[platform-ant-dev] ant java task with fork-- progress dialog box blocks ide

Hello,

First, hats off to the Eclipse developers-- I'm evaluating Eclipse for the first time and so far I've only had a few non-critical problems. Eclipse is definitely the best IDE platform I've seen.

I'm launching ant targets in Eclipse 2.0.2. One of them uses the built-in ant 'java' task. I use the fork=true attribute. The target application launches correctly, however the "operation in progress" dialog that Eclipse launches blocks Eclipse (it absorbs all mouse clicks/keystrokes). Also, the cancel button will not terminate the target java process. I can only terminate by using the OS task manager. I would really like to be able to use the IDE while the target java process is running. How can I configure this?

thanks for any pointers
