### Class Details [line 46] Commandline objects help handling command lines specifying processes to execute. The class can be used to define a command line as nested elements or as a helper to define a command line by an application. <p> &lt; someelement&gt;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&lt; acommandline executable="/executable/to/run"&gt;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt; argument value="argument 1" /&gt;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt; argument line="argument_1 argument_2 argument_3" /&gt;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt; argument value="argument 4" /&gt;<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/acommandline&gt;<br> &lt;/someelement&gt;<br> The element someelement must provide a method createAcommandline which returns an instance of this class. #### Tags:
