I do use JTestR with Buildr for my current employer's build system.  We have 
RSpec / JRuby tests mixed with JUnit4 tests in projects, and JTestR is the only 
test framework I am aware of that can run all tests together, given that only 
one test framework can be activated per project AFAIK.

I am willing to spend some of my off-work hours to help.  I am also on the 
JTestR mailing list so I am aware that Ola responded to Alex that he did not 
have time to move JTestR to RSpec 2.  Maybe I should start on that end?

Alex - if there is anything specific I need to know about this JTestR dependency 
issues, please let me know.

Cheers,
Chiaming Hsu

I note in favor of removing it: I ported an ant script that used jtestr to 
buildr a long time ago.  At first I tried using buildr's jtestr support, but it 
didn't work how I expected.  I switched to buildr's built-in rspec support and 
things were much smoother.  So that's a possible transition path to suggest to 
folks (if any) who are using jtestr+buildr.
