ant java task : redirecting output with spawn=true

Greetings,

a rather clear question here.

I have to launch a java job with <java>, which is to be run in parallel with ant and开发者_如何学Python it's okay if the job outlives the ant process, hence spawn="true".

I have to see the job output in a designated file. This is perfectly achievable via output="job.out" for spawn="false", but I am kinda out of luck having spawn"=true".

So, is there any modestly dirty hack or I really have to wrap the java call with an exec like the one below?

CMD /C my-java-command-and-hardcoded-classpath-goes-here > job.out

Thanks, Anton

        String[] wrappedArgs = new String[args.length - 2];
        System.arraycopy(args, 2, wrappedArgs, 0, wrappedArgs.length);
        Class.forName(mainClass).getMethod("main", String[].class).invoke(null, (Object) wrappedArgs);
