Niklas,

I'm in favour and think commons is the right place to do it. This has been on the table for a number of years (eg http://ant.apache.org/ant2/actionlist.html#exec), it's just a matter of getting some momentum, I think. Personally, I still don't have the time right now as I have 2 other similar commons components to try and get started on :)

In other projects I have been using plexus-utils' Commandline class which is based on some similar code.
http://svn.plexus.codehaus.org/trunk/plexus-utils/src/main/java/org/codehaus/plexus/util/cli/

A combination of that and the Ant Exec tasks would be a very useful standalone library, I believe. I would probably extend that to include other handling that is dependant on the operating system.

| I very much like the support for this in Ant and have extracted that code and removed all Ant specifics for some of my other projects. I would be happy to contribute and maintain this code should you be interested.
