[Yanel-dev] GWT HostMode/DevMode blocks Ant terminal

[Guillaume Déflache]

Hi!

I noticed that the way the "gwt:hostmode" target of resource-types works 
blocks the Unix terminal on which it is run.
This is annoying, especially if you stops (^Z) the process, the GWT 
console is frozen as well as browsers that run the GWT plugin (!) (at 
least with Firefox).
Changing this should not be too confusing for the user because trying to 
open two GWT consoles always warns one is already running.

I am testing ATM if there are no problems with using on the 
corresponding 'java' task spawn='true' in addition to fork="true" to 
free the terminal. This should not make any difference WRT how the JVM 
itself is run AFAICU.
Under Windows I think this should also prevent blocking a DOS window.

Feedback is welcome, esp. WRT GWT 1.x if someone stills want to skip 
with that, Windows and OSX.

Cheers,
    Guillaume
