Description

I have a groovy program that I am running from Ant in Eclipse
using <groovy src="thepgm.groovy" />

I can write to the console using println

But I can't read from the console.
When I try to, the program waits at the right place
and I can type in the console window
but I can't terminate the input and return to the program.
I have tried ctrl+c, ctrl+z, and esc
(When I ran a groovy program directly in Eclipse, I had to terminate with ctrl+z)
I have to cancel the program.

I would like a way that work in environment, and also if I run it from an Ant job in the command window

I have tried the following, with and w/o the import statements.

	<target name="groovy.test.console.in"
		description="">
	<!-- ***** Not working ***** -->
		<groovy>
			//import console.*
			//import java.io.*

			println "Hello World"
			
			//Process1 ()
			//Process2 ()
			//Process3 ()
			Process4 ()
			return
			
			def Process1 () {
				ans = System.in.readLines()
				//ans = System.in.readLine()
				println "ans = " + ans
			}

			def Process2 () {
			def stdin = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in))
			print "Enter info: " 
			String info = stdin.readLine()
			print "You entered:  " + info
			}

			def Process3 () {
				println "Starting Process3"
				ant.echo("Ant says Hello World")
				ant.input(message:"Enter a name",addproperty:"a.name")
			}

			def Process4 () {
				println "Starting Process4"
				System.in.readLines().each {
					println it
				}
			}
		</groovy>
	</target>
