Thanks for the feedback. There's no special reason for the external test data file or repeated executable-find calls. I was following the convention from ob-C. I'll make those changes. ob-haxe and ob-java both involve a few changes to ob-core to allow temp directories instead of just temp files. Should I submit that as a separate patch?
