    - #### getSubProjectExecutor

          Executor getSubProjectExecutor()

      Get the appropriate subproject Executor instance. This allows the top executor to control what type of executor is used to execute subprojects via <ant>/<antcall>/<subant> and task that extend these. All bundled Executors return a SingleCheckExecutor (running a merged set of depended targets for all targets called) to run sub-builds.
      Returns:
        an Executor instance.
