[jira] Created: (MEXEC-42) Execute Java class in separate thread

Execute Java class in separate thread
-------------------------------------

                 Key: MEXEC-42
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEXEC-42
             Project: Maven 2.x Exec Plugin
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Sam Couter
            Priority: Minor


The exec plugin should provide the capability to execute a Java class in a separate thread, so it does not block the Maven build.

This is loosely related to the deprecated {{keepAlive}} parameter and would be useful for starting server-like programs that block the executing thread. An example is the HSQL server.

------------------------------------------

I agree with Sam. There should be an option to start either java or a program in a separate thread when needed.
A property 'detach' or 'async' would be nice to have to trigger this behaviour.

At this point I will download the source code and make a custom build of the plugin to enable this behaviour.

I would say that iot would be nice to have not only starting a java process in separate thread but also killing this java process or all such processes started before that  (if we consider pre-integration-test and post-integration-test phases)
