Description: on the continuous integration server, before running tests, you need to run one program (java -jar program.jar), which must be running all the time the tests are running, then closed.

The problem is that the standard one launches my program and waits for its completion, but I need it to launch it and “forget” it (analogue of Ant's).

How to do it? :)

I'm not sure that I have a neat solution, but here's what I could generate:
1) if you use CI, you can probably run the second project in parallel
2) run ant from msbuild
3) write your own task for msbuild
4) and just stumbled upon the link... http://www.msbuildextensionpack.com

Yes, I myself have already stumbled upon AsyncExec from MSBuild.ExtensionPack - just what you need!
