[ceki]

Hi Thorbjørn,

Are you building from git master or from a released version? More inline.

Can you provide more information on the test failures?

Logback classic test requires logback-core-test.jar.

Logback now relies on both Groovy (GafferConfigurator) and Scala (for
tests) in addition to Java. IntelliJ IDEA deals with this particular
language configuration very nicely. I've heard that running
Groovy+Scala projects may be difficult to set up with Eclipse. I'd be
quite interested in your feedback in this regard.

The current situation where Java+Groovy+Scala projects cannot be run
in Eclipse is rather problematic. It needs to be addressed asap.
