      No args constructor

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setReverse

          public void setReverse(boolean reverse)

      Flag the conversion to run in the reverse sense, that is Ascii to Native encoding.
      Parameters:
        `reverse` - True if the conversion is to be reversed, otherwise false;

    - #### getReverse

          public boolean getReverse()

      The value of the reverse attribute.
      Returns:
        the reverse attribute.
      Since:
        Ant 1.6.3

    - #### setEncoding

          public void setEncoding(java.lang.String encoding)

      Set the encoding to translate to/from. If unset, the default encoding for the JVM is used.
      Parameters:
        `encoding` - String containing the name of the Native encoding to convert from or to.

    - #### getEncoding

          public java.lang.String getEncoding()

      The value of the encoding attribute.
      Returns:
        the encoding attribute.
      Since:
        Ant 1.6.3

    - #### setSrc

          public void setSrc(java.io.File srcDir)

      Set the source directory in which to find files to convert.
      Parameters:
        `srcDir` - directory to find input file in.

          public void setDest(java.io.File destDir)

      Set the destination directory to place converted files into.
      Parameters:
        `destDir` - directory to place output file into.

    - #### setExt

          public void setExt(java.lang.String ext)

      Set the extension which converted files should have. If unset, files will not be renamed.
      Parameters:
        `ext` - File extension to use for converted files.

    - #### setImplementation

          public void setImplementation(java.lang.String impl)
