Usually compilers are standalone programs accepting source file names as arguments. For example, java compiler can be started as
javac Test.java
However, to run ABL-to-Java converter is represented as an ant build script. To run the converter, the user at least has to copy the build script in his test directory, and even then it would not work, complaining that cfg directory not found. And even developer succeeds to make local installation of the converter, uncontrolled copying of build script creates problem of keeping it up-to-date.
User must be able to run converter from any directory as simple as
abl2java test1.p test2.p widget.w
javac Test.java
