- All Implemented Interfaces:

      public class KeepAliveInputStream
      extends java.io.FilterInputStream

  Class that can be used to wrap `System.in` without getting anxious about any client closing the stream.

  In code-language it means that it is not necessary to do:

       if (out != System.in) {
         in.close();
       }

    Ant 1.6
