[Anthill] Anthill hangs with <exec>

Hi,

I am new to anthill and have a question I could not find answered in the 
archives.

At the end of my project build, I have a series of ant tasks that deploy 
it and start it up via an exec tag.  The purpose of this is to leave a 
copy of my server running on the build server.  Problem is, the anthill 
build never completes as it seems to be waiting for the process to end.  
When I kill the server it completes and gives the all-clear.

I have tried adding some indirection (bat file) to the exec to allow 
anthill to finish the build but to no avail.  Can anyone suggest a way 
for me to start a server from anthill->ant that will leave it running 
and allow anthill to finish the build?

This is on XP btw.

Thanks

Ted
