Description

In the current implementation the only way to execute Herriot (system) tests is to run certain Ant build target. As the result every test run causes full recompilation and re-weaving of AOP code. It takes about 2 minutes for 0.20 code and 1m20s for 0.21+

However, on multiple runs of the same test the waste of time might be significant. It'd be very helpful to be able to just run the tests our of test jar file or something without being force to recompile the code again and again.
