## net.sf.antcontrib.process
Class Limit

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectComponent
          org.apache.tools.ant.Task
              net.sf.antcontrib.process.Limit

All Implemented Interfaces:
  org.apache.tools.ant.TaskContainer

    public class Limit

extends org.apache.tools.ant.Task
implements org.apache.tools.ant.TaskContainer

Limits the amount of time that a task or set of tasks can run. This is useful for tasks that may "hang" or otherwise not complete in a timely fashion. This task is done when either the maxwait time has expired or all nested tasks are complete, whichever is first.

Developed for use with Antelope, migrated to ant-contrib Oct 2003.
