Description Eric Jain CLA 2004-06-24 05:35:34 EDT 
Running an Ant build file that prompts for user input, e.g. 

  <input message="Enter password" addproperty="password"/>

fails:

[input] Enter password
BUILD FAILED: C:\...\build.xml:271: Failed to read input from Console.

Currently running M8; pretty sure this used to work a few milestones back...

For the input task to work by default run your build in the same JRE as 
Eclipse. See the the JRE tab of your Ant launch configuration.
To use the input task in a separate JRE you will need to provide an input 
handler.
