Description Xavier Méhaut CLA 2003-02-04 11:37:39 EST 
Hello/bonjour,
I'm trying to use the Splash ant task inside an ANT script. I launch this 
script from Eclipse/ANT view. The Splash is well launched..but never ends ...
Is there a means to make disappeared this splash window?
regards
Xavier

The splash task should end on its own and the window disappear (as it does from 
the commandline).
Needs investigation.

The problem appears to be in the Ant Splash task and the SplashScreen class.
The Window that is created is never explictly disposed...the implementation is 
depending on the java process ending. As the Eclipse Ant integration runs in 
the same VM, the SplashScreen will not disappear until Eclipse is exited.

I plan to log a bug report against the Ant implementation.

The only current option is to launch Ant in a separate vm. 
See bug 24129 for an example on how to accomplish this within Eclipse.

Note that Apache Ant has fixed the problem and will be included in Ant 1.5.2
