Description Sylvain Pélissier CLA 2005-03-31 07:28:19 EST 
Under previous releases such a tag was raising a prompt to the user to ask for
input.

<input message="Please enter webapp root path (B2B/MF)"
addproperty="webapp.root.path"/>

Since rel. 3.0.1 nothing happens but a Console message "Failed to read input
from console."

Thank you for the bug report.

As detailed in the Eclipse readme, the input task works the same as Eclipse 2.1 
if you run the Ant build in the same VM as Eclipse (which was the only option 
in Eclipse 2.1).

To configure, see the JRE tab for the Ant launch configuration.

In the Eclipse 3.1 stream, Eclipse provides a separate JRE Ant input handler. 

For 3.0 you will either need to run in the same JRE as Eclipse or provide your
own implementation of an Ant input handler.
