/**
 * The main abstraction to start an external process.
 *
 * The interface allows to
 * 

 *  
set a current working directory for the subprocess
 *  
provide a set of environment variables passed to the subprocess
 *  
capture the subprocess output of stdout and stderr using an ExecuteStreamHandler
 *  
kill long-running processes using an ExecuteWatchdog
 *  
define a set of expected exit values
 *  
terminate any started processes when the main process is terminating using a ProcessDestroyer
 * 
 *
 * The following example shows the basic usage:
 *
 * 
 * Executor exec = new DefaultExecutor();
 * CommandLine cl = new CommandLine("ls -l");
 * int exitvalue = exec.execute(cl);
 *
