All,
I'm just curious what version of Ruby everyone is running Buildr against. I ask because I am having a weird deadlock issue with running JUnit tests with ree-1.8.6-20090610 (I had the same problem with MRI 1.8.6 as well). There is a reason why I was using an older version of Ruby, but since I've upgraded to 1.9.2 and the problem has gone away.
