Beside your problem: For Junit tests you have to install ant-optional,
as we had a ant reorganization and in the ant package there are only
the core tasks now.

Well, I cannot reproduce the problem here. I assume it must be some
other problem (maybe related to a specific task ...).

Please provide us the testrun.xml file so we can test it ourself
and see what tasks are you using. Also please give us information
which JDK (non-free or free) you are using for ant execution.

Simple build files with normal core tasks targets are running for
me in the background without problems.

Please also test the attached simple buildfile to see if a simple
buildfile will succeed in your setup.

Thanks,

Wolfgang
