Tasks extending this class may contain multiple actions. The method that is invoked for execution depends upon the value of the action attribute of the task.
Example:
<mytask action="list"/> will invoke the method with the signature public void list() in mytask's class. If the action attribute is not defined in the task or is empty, the execute() method will be called.
