in the context of running hudson platform independent, i was searching for the ant task to start jboss and i found it. the ant task spawns a separate jboss process and it listens to the console as long as it doesn't see the message: " started in " so if someone wants to give it a go to leverage this ant task in our current build, let me know and I'll make the classes available somewhere View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4218919#...
