Depends on the <arg> you want to have :-)
If I want to reuse existing tasks/datatypes I search for an existing task
using that. In this case <exec> uses a nested <arg>.
oata/taskdefs/default.properties:
exec=org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ExecTask
ExecTask:027: import org.apache.tools.ant.types.Commandline;
ExecTask:287: public Commandline.Argument createArg() {
ExecTask:288: return cmdl.createArgument();
ExecTask:289: }
