[Anthill] Killing the build process...

[Eric Minick]

Jeevan and Robert,

Another work intensive option would be to modify the Anthill code to add 
an abort button.  As of 1.8 the old execution library is swapped out for 
a modified version of the Ant execution library. I'll get the source 
code for that up on the website soon. CVS access might take a little 
longer to arrange.

Our version of the library maintains a list of which external processes 
are being run by any given thread. So you could come in and say, "give 
me all the processes for the BuildDaemon" kill those processes and the 
build will be violently brought to an end.

Here's what this might look like:

import org.apache.commons.execute.ProcessThreadRegistry;
Process[] processArray = 
ProcessThreadRegistry.getInstance().getProcessArrayForThread(daemonExecutingBuild);
     // Make a good faith effort to kill hung processes and cleanup 
resources.
     for (int i = 0; i < processArray.length; i++) {
     try {                   
           processArray[i].destroy();
           processArray[i].exitValue();                           
      }
      catch (Exception e) {
           log.error("Problem killing build.", e);
           throw new AnthillBuildException(e);
      }
}

Cheers,

Eric
