Gwen, I have not tried Java 8. Still on Java 7, but I always run into the test hung problems (no errors on the screen and the system is completely idle), it may be a different problem. I can recreate that problem every time when I run "gradle --daemon testAll", I recall that couple of weeks ago there was one patch saying fixed the problem, but I am still seeing the problem with latest code. What I noticed is that seems tests always stop at one of the ConsumerTest test cases. What puzzled me the most is that it was not always a particular test case. Being very new in this community, I think that error must be something related to my env. Here is my environment:
Oracle JDK 7, gradle 2.2.1, scala 2.10.4. Lot of open file handles and big enough max lock memory, not complaining, just some observations in case you wonder what other developers may face. Thanks.

I just noticed that they take almost twice as long to run compared to Java 7 (at least on my box, and with Scala 2.10.4). Anyone else noticed this? Maybe even did some digging on the causes? Gwen
