I use it in this way:
lArgs.add(HS_OPT_BOOKLET + booklet);
// Create command-line
Commandline cmd = new Commandline();
cmd.setExecutable(path + HS_CMD_LINE);
cmd.addArguments((String[]) lArgs.toArray(new
String[lArgs.size()]));
// Create Execute object from command-line
Execute exe = new Execute(new LogStreamHandler(this,
Project.MSG_INFO,
Project.MSG_WARN));
exe.setAntRun(getProject());
exe.setWorkingDirectory(getProject().getBaseDir());
exe.setCommandline(cmd.getCommandline());
