Question

I have simple user input element in ant script (that’s run from maven antrun plugin):

<input addproperty="myprop" validargs="y,n" defaultvalue="y">

and this works well on windows: the process stops until y or n entered in the command line.
But when this is run in linux prod box – after entering y/n happens nothing: the script (ant process) hangs until ctrl+C

I’ve found some mail issue about concerning it and nothing else.

Is it an ant bug so far? does anybody can reproduce it? Thanks!

Works fine on my linux desktop (RHEL 5) for the following dummy snippet using maven-3.0.4 and java 1.6.0_32 run from bash shell.
