Is there a way to run something after ANT has finished with log output?  I =
am trying to implement an auto-update feature of my ant scripts.  They are =
in a SVN sandbox that all my users checkout.  I would like the ANT scripts =
to check if the user's sandbox is up to date and run svn update if not.  Th=
e problem is that you can't update yourself since some files will be locked=
 by the OS since they are in use at the time.  So I was thinking I could ru=
n the svn update command after ANT has completed the up to date check of th=
e sandbox.  I did this using the java svn client and the spawn/fork options=
 of the java task.  The spawn/fork options allow this svn update command to=
 outlive the ANT process which allows the ANT process to die unlocking the =
files allowing them to be updated.  Everything works well except the spawn/=
fork options prevent the output of the svn update command from displaying i=
n the console.  I would like the end user to see the update take place to k=
now when it is complete.  Anybody have any ideas?
