Description

While using the commandline API to invoke java tool (jarsigner, keytool, javadoc), we always write the same boilerplate code:

• find the java tool executable location
• build a new command line
• invoke it and deal with invocation errors
• ...

Let's have a simple API for this! As a first improvement then let's add to it also the support for toolchain (asked in maven-jarsigner-plugin).

I will put the code in package org.apache.maven.shared.utils.cli.javatool.
