Hi!

You can use this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<project name="TestBat" default="executebat">   
    <target name="executebat">
        <exec executable="c:/testbat.bat">
            <arg value="arg"/>  
        </exec>   
    </target>
</project>

Where testbat.bat is your batch file, I used the following brainless batch file:

echo Hello World!

Let me know if it works!
