Assaf - what's your latest thinking on JTestR or rspec for unit testing in
buildr?

I was a little confused between the two postings as to which you felt was
the best model. Should we be aiming to support both, for choice?

The thing my rspec framework doesn't do that JTestR does is Test::Unit  
testing. I'll leave that for someone else, since I'm not using  
Test::Unit...:-)

Nick Sieger contributed an RSpec test framework that's native to Buildr:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-29

Using JTestR we would still have to write a test framework to use the Ant
task, both use RSpec and we won't gain any features that I know of, so I
prefer to go with Nick's framework.
