Package org.gradle.util.exec Description

Classes for running external processes.

ExecHandle

The ExecHandle is the class that maps to the external process and provides control methods to start/abort or wait for the external process to terminate (normally or by a failure).

ExecHandleBuilder

Creating an instance of ExecHandle is done using the ExecHandleBuilder that provides a bunch of usefull functions to set the arguments/... .

ExecHandleListener

It is also possible to add listeners ExecHandleListener to the ExecHandle that are called when the ExecHandle changes from state ExecHandleState.

ExecOutputHandle

In order to prevent the external process from blocking (because the output buffers are full) the standard output and error output are fetch continuously by two Threads until the process terminates. These Threads pass the output to an ExecOutputHandle. The default behaviour is to pass all the output to the standard output and error output of the parent process. By passing in other ExecOutputHandle this behaviour can be customized.
